| Beschrijving keerzijde | Quadripartite incuse square divided into four equal compartments by two intersecting lines, creating a mill-sail or windmill pattern typical of early northern Greek coinage. The recessed sections display a granular or rough surface texture within each quarter. No inscriptions or additional devices are present, the entire reverse being dominated by this deeply punched geometric incuse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Argilos was a Thasian colony on the Strymon river in Thrace, controlling access to the silver-rich hinterland that would later make nearby Amphipolis one of the most strategically contested cities in the Greek world. The town issued its own small silver coinage during a window of genuine commercial independence — before Athenian expansion up the Strymonian coast effectively absorbed its economic sphere in the 430s BC.
At 0.27 g, this hemiobol represents the smallest practical denomination in local exchange, almost certainly used in market transactions rather than tribute or inter-polis settlement.
