| Additional information |
Kimissa was a minor city in ancient Thrace whose coinage output was extremely limited, placing this hemidrachm among the rarer civic issues of the northern Aegean region. The dating — roughly 339 to 336 BC — places production squarely within the period of Philip II of Macedon's aggressive consolidation of Thrace, culminating in his campaigns that effectively ended meaningful autonomy for many communities in the region. Whether Kimissa ceased minting due to Macedonian absorption or simple economic collapse is unresolved in the scholarship.
The Jameson reference remains one of the few published citations for this type.
