| Additional information |
Praisos was one of the last holdouts of the Eteocretan population — believed to be descendants of the pre-Greek inhabitants of Crete — who maintained a distinct identity and independent polis long after Hellenic culture had absorbed most of the island. The city controlled the mountainous eastern tip of Crete and issued coins sparingly, which accounts for the rarity of this type across all major collections. Svoronos's attribution remains the standard reference, though the small die corpus suggests output was concentrated within a narrow window of the mid-fourth century.
