| 背面描述 | A proud cock stands in right profile at the center of the field, rendered with fine detail in the feathering of its breast, wing, and elaborate tail plumage. The bird's comb and wattle are distinctly articulated, and its posture conveys alertness. The ethnic inscription ΚΑΡΥΣ is disposed around the cock in two groups, with ΚΑ above to the upper left and ΡΥΣ to the right, identifying the issuing city of Carystos in Euboia. The entire design is set within an irregular incuse square field typical of hammered silver coinage of this period. |

Carystus occupied the southern tip of Euboea, positioned at the narrowest point of the strait between the island and Attica — a location that made it commercially significant but also strategically contested. The city's coinage is closely tied to its marble and asbestos trades, both of which attracted Athenian commercial interest throughout the fourth century. By the time these staters were struck, Carystus had already endured forced participation in both Athenian leagues and was navigating a period of relative autonomy in the aftermath of Macedonian reorganization of the region following Chaeronea in 338 BC.
The BCD specimens referencing this type were among the most carefully provenanced Euboian coins to pass through a single collection.
