| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bull standing left, rendered in archaic Greek style with musculature indicated by incised lines; a single wheat ear lies beneath the animal. A civic monogram appears in the upper field before the bull. The flan is irregular, typical of early fourth-century Bithynian coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kalchedon sat at the mouth of the Bosphorus opposite Byzantium, and its coinage reflects the strategic weight of that position. The city controlled passage between the Black Sea and the Aegean for centuries, extracting tolls from grain ships moving southward from the Pontic states — a revenue stream that funded its mint and its politics in roughly equal measure. The date range overlaps with the period of Spartan hegemony and then its collapse at Leuktra in 371 BC, after which Kalchedon navigated shifting alliances with characteristic opportunism.
