Obol

Trikka, a small polis in western Thessaly, is better known in ancient sources as a religious center — home to one of the earliest sanctuaries of Asklepios — than as a minting authority. Its coinage output was modest, and obols at this weight class represent the fractional end of an already limited series. The BCD Thessaly II reference places this piece within a collector corpus that remains one of the few systematic attempts to organize Thessalian fractional silver, much of which circulated within tight regional networks rather than through broader Aegean trade.
