Obol

正面描述	Dove shown in flight with wings fully spread, rendered in high relief against a plain, slightly granular field. The bird is depicted in right-facing profile with finely engraved feather detail on the wings and body, characteristic of the skilled Sikyonian die-cutting tradition. The plump, naturalistic form of the dove is a hallmark type of Sikyon, referencing the city's close association with the goddess Aphrodite. No inscription appears on this side.

附加信息	Sikyon occupied an awkward political position throughout the fourth century, navigating between Spartan dominance and the rising power of Macedon while maintaining enough autonomy to strike its own coinage. The city's silver issues from this period are tied to a local weight standard rather than the Aeginetan or Attic systems that dominated neighboring poleis — a deliberate economic positioning that kept Sikyonian coinage circulating primarily within its own commercial sphere. BCD Peloponnesos 249 references the collection assembled by a single private collector whose systematic acquisition of Peloponnesian bronzes and silvers produced the most rigorously catalogued grouping of regional Greek coinage in modern scholarship.
