| Additional information |
At roughly one-sixteenth of an obol, the tetartemorion represents the smallest fractional denomination in the Greek monetary system — a coin so diminutive that ancient sources suggest they were carried in the mouth during transactions. Attribution of uninscribed Carian fractions remains genuinely contested; without an ethnic, scholars rely on die-linkage studies and find groupings that resist clean city assignments.
