| Beschrijving voorzijde | Forepart of a lion depicted in high relief, oriented to the right with the head dramatically turned back to the left in characteristic Cherronesian style. The mane is rendered with bold, deeply cut strokes, conveying vigorous musculature and naturalistic detail. The open jaws and alert expression emphasize the lion's predatory power. No legend or border is present; the design fills the flan with confident artistry typical of late Classical Thracian coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cherronesos (the Thrace Chersonese peninsula) issued hemidrachms almost continuously from the late fifth century through the Hellenistic period, and the sheer volume and longevity of the series reflects the city's role as a critical transit point controlling grain shipments through the Hellespont. The rooster reverse type on this issue is among the more localized control variants, with the dot and AΓ monogram serving as magistrate or mint-official identifiers — a bureaucratic fingerprint rather than a civic statement.
Philip II's campaigns through Thrace in the 340s BC put Cherronesos under sustained political pressure, and Athenian cleruchs stationed there complicated the city's autonomy considerably. Many issues from this bracket circulated well beyond the peninsula itself.
