| Aversbeschreibung | The omphalos of Delphi depicted in high relief at center, rendered as a rounded, beehive-shaped sacred stone with a netted or banded surface surmounted by a small knob. Flanking the omphalos on either side are the sacred laurel branches or baetyls, with stylized curving fronds extending outward. The composition is set within a roughly circular, irregular flan typical of early archaic hammered coinage, with the design occupying the full field. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A concave incuse square containing a raised central boss or pellet surrounded by two concentric raised rings, forming a simple target-like pattern. This type of incuse reverse is characteristic of early archaic Phocian and Delphic coinage of the late sixth to early fifth century BC, produced by a plain punch to create the required relief on the obverse. The field is otherwise plain and unadorned. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Delphi's authority to strike its own coinage derived directly from its role administering the sanctuary of Apollo and the Pythian Games — the mint existed because pilgrims, dedicants, and theoroi from across the Greek world needed a medium for sanctuary transactions and sacred fees. These obols circulated within a tight geographic and institutional orbit, which is why die-linked specimens across the BCD collection cluster so narrowly.
