| Additional information |
Abdera's silver staters of this period were issued under a system of annual magistrates, with the responsible official's name struck directly onto the coin — here, Telemachos. May's corpus documents this as a relatively rare emission within the fourth-century series, with few recorded specimens. The city itself was sacked by the Triballi in 376 BC, an event that disrupted mint activity for years; by 359, production had resumed but the polis never fully recovered its earlier commercial weight in the northern Aegean.
