| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three-legged racing tripod cauldron depicted in frontal view, with pronounced legs and a rounded bowl surmounted by a circular ornament or handle ring at the top center. Flanking the tripod are additional cult or votive objects: to the left, a torch or staff, and to the right, a prochous (jug) and what appears to be a forepart of a horse or a horse-head protome. The Greek ethnic legend ΦΙΛΙΠΠΩΝ is inscribed vertically to the left of the tripod in neat archaic Greek characters. The composition fills the flan, with all devices rendered in bold relief characteristic of early Macedonian hammered coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philippi's gold staters were struck using revenue from the Pangaion mines — among the most productive gold deposits in the ancient world — before Philip II of Macedon seized the city in 356 BC and redirected that same wealth to fund his military campaigns across Greece. The mines ultimately underwrote the Macedonian empire itself.
Bellinger's classification of this type remains the standard reference, though die studies have confirmed the series was compressed into a short window before Macedonian administrative control disrupted local autonomous coinage entirely.
