| Beschrijving voorzijde | Dolphin depicted in profile, oriented horizontally across the flat field of the flan, rendered in a bold archaic style characteristic of early Cycladic coinage. The creature's body is naturalistically modelled with a slightly curved form suggesting motion, its snout pointing to the left and its tail fin visible at the right. The surrounding field displays the rough, granular texture typical of hammered silver flans of this period. No legend or inscription is present. The design is executed in low relief against the unworked silver surface. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Thera — modern Santorini — was a Spartan colony, and its coinage reflects that Dorian heritage in both fabric and type. The island sits on the rim of one of the ancient Mediterranean's most catastrophic volcanic calderas, though by the Archaic period it had long been inhabited and commercially active enough to warrant a civic silver issue. Staters from Thera are genuinely scarce; the polis was never a major commercial power, and production was limited. The references here — HGC, Nanteuil, and Weber — all treat this type as a rare survivor rather than a routine archaic issue.
