| Additional information |
Kierion was a minor Thessalian city in the Histiaeotis region, and its independent coinage output was limited — the civic mint apparently struck for only a narrow window before the consolidating pressures of Macedonian expansion effectively ended autonomous production across much of Thessaly. The BCD collection, assembled by a single dedicated specialist over decades, remains the principal reference point for these issues precisely because institutional holdings are so thin.
Hemidrachms of this type rarely appear outside specialist auctions.
