| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in a mature Hellenistic style with finely engraved curling locks and a short beard visible along the jawline. The laureate wreath is depicted with individual leaves carefully articulated around the crown of the head. The portrait displays a strong, slightly idealised profile characteristic of Megarian civic coinage of the early third century BC. The field is plain, with no inscription or additional devices. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Megara occupied an awkward geographic position between Corinth and Athens, and its coinage history reflects that pressure directly. The city was never a major mint, and hemidrachms of this type were produced in relatively small quantities during a period when Megara was navigating the fractious aftermath of the Lamian War and shifting Macedonian dominance over the Peloponnese.
The BCD collection reference here is significant — Lanz's Peloponnesos sale remains the benchmark grouping for this series, and the clustering of die matches across those lots clarified the chronology considerably.
