| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bust of the eponymous nymph of Neapolis in profile to right, her hair elaborately dressed with a coil wound around the head and gathered into a bun at the nape. The design is rendered in finely engraved style typical of late fifth- to mid-fourth-century Macedonian coinage. A partial Greek inscription appears in the field identifying the issuing city. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Neapolis — modern Kavala — was a Thasian colony that found itself caught between competing powers throughout the fifth and fourth centuries BC, pressed by Macedonian expansion from the west and Athenian commercial dominance by sea. The city maintained a notably independent coinage for longer than its political circumstances might suggest, a function of its strategic position on the Via Egnatia corridor before that road even had a name.
SNG ANS 458 places this hemidrachm within a series closely studied for die linkages that help sequence the otherwise broad 424–350 dating range.
