| Beschrijving voorzijde | A goat rendered in high relief kneels to the right with its head reverted, depicted in a dynamic, archaic artistic style characteristic of early Thraco-Macedonian coinage. The animal's musculature and fleece are boldly modelled, conveying a sense of vigorous naturalism. A dotted rosette appears in the upper field above the goat's back. The entire design is contained within a beaded border, with a dotted ground line beneath the figure. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Mygdones and Krestones were neighboring Thracian tribes occupying the region between the Axios and Strymon rivers, and the attribution of this coinage has never been settled — scholars have argued for both groups, and for specific towns within each territory, without consensus. What is clear is the timing: these staters were struck in the years immediately before and during Xerxes' invasion of Greece, when Persian forces marched directly through this region in 480 BC. The local silver supply came from mines that Persia would subsequently control.
