Beschrijving voorzijde A wild boar advancing to the left, rendered in archaic Greek style, positioned above a single pellet enclosed within a beaded border of dots. Flanking the composition below the boar, to the left and right, are three stylized roses alternating with three large pellets, arranged symmetrically in the field. The boar is depicted with characteristic bristled spine and sturdy musculature, reflecting the bold naturalistic style of early northern Greek coinage. No legend or inscription is present on the obverse.

Beschrijving keerzijde A deeply recessed incuse square dominates the reverse, divided into four quadrants by raised ridges meeting at the centre, producing an irregular mill-sail or quadripartite pattern typical of archaic Greek coinage of the late sixth century BC. The surface of the incuse is rough and uneven, a characteristic feature of the early hammered technique employed at Macedonian and Thracian mints of this period. No legend, inscription, or additional device is present.

Aanvullende informatie

Stagira, a small polis on the Chalcidice peninsula, is far better known as the birthplace of Aristotle — born roughly a century and a half after this coin was struck — than for its numismatic output. Issues of this type are rare enough that the SNG ANS corpus records only a handful of specimens, making attribution dependent almost entirely on die comparisons with neighboring Chalcidic mints.
