| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing left, the bare head of a youthful male figure rendered in archaic Greek style, with finely engraved wavy hair swept back and gathered at the nape. The facial features are delicately modeled with a slightly upturned nose and pursed lips characteristic of late archaic Macedonian coinage. The field is plain and unlettered, with the portrait occupying the full coin face in high relief typical of Thracian-Macedonian silver issues of the late fifth century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Dikaia was a small Greek colonial city on the Chalcidic peninsula, and its coinage output was modest by any measure. The hemiobol — half an obol, a sixth of a drachm — was the smallest practical denomination in regular circulation, used for transactions too minor to bother a larger coin. Few mints bothered striking at this weight, which makes Dikaia's commitment to the denomination unusual for a city of its size.
