| Additional information |
The Perrhaiboi were a Thessalian people whose political identity was entangled with Macedonian expansion — Philip II would later absorb their territory outright. This hemiobol likely circulated during a period when the Perrhaiboi retained enough autonomy to strike their own silver, a window that narrowed considerably through the latter fifth century. At 0.40g, pieces like this were everyday transactional coinage, the kind ground into anonymity by market use.
