Hemiobol - Kassander

Kassander seized control of Macedonia not through inheritance but through ruthless political maneuvering following the death of Antipater in 319 BC, eventually ordering the execution of Alexander the Great's mother Olympias, his widow Roxane, and his son Alexander IV — effectively extinguishing the Argead bloodline to clear his own path to kingship. He formally assumed the title of king only in 305 BC, meaning much of this issue's production window predates even that claim.

Bronze fractions of this type circulated heavily in urban markets around Pella and Thessalonica, the latter a city Kassander himself founded and named after his wife.
