| Additional information |
Sikyon occupied an unusual position in the ancient Greek monetary world — the city maintained its own independent coinage long after most Peloponnesian poleis had been absorbed into larger monetary networks, a stubbornness rooted in its commercial ties to Corinth and its role as a transit hub between the Saronic Gulf and the western Peloponnese. The BCD reference places this obol within a tightly defined sequence identified from a single collection, one of the most rigorously catalogued Peloponnesian assemblages ever compiled.
