| Beschrijving voorzijde | Chimera advancing left in dynamic, naturalistic posture, with forepaws raised and tail curling upward; the creature rendered with finely detailed musculature and a prominent mane. The abbreviation ΣΕ (for Σικυώνιον) appears in the exergue beneath a ground line, serving as the civic ethnic of Sikyon. The composition fills the flan with vigorous energy characteristic of early classical Peloponnesian coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sikyon occupied an awkward position during the Peloponnesian War — nominally aligned with Sparta yet geographically squeezed between Corinth and Argos, two powers with competing interests. The city contributed ships to the Spartan alliance and hosted Spartan forces on at least one occasion, but its coinage continued uninterrupted, suggesting the mint was never seriously disrupted by the conflict.
The BCD Peloponnesos collection, assembled by a single private collector over decades, remains the definitive reference for Sikyonian issues of this period. Specimens cited within it carry unusual pedigree weight precisely because the collection was so methodically built.
