Hemidrachm

Corinth's mint was among the most prolific in the Greek world, and its fractional silver — the hemidrachm included — circulated well beyond the Corinthia through the city's extensive western trade networks. The stater was the workhorse denomination, which likely kept hemidrachms in shorter production runs and closer to hand-to-hand local use.

HGC 4, 1877 is sparsely documented in the die study literature, a reflection of how little systematic work has been done on Corinthian fractions compared to the stater series.
