Tetrachalkon

Pellene was the easternmost of the twelve Achaean cities, perched in the mountains above the Corinthian Gulf, and remained a minor issuer throughout the classical period. The city is better remembered for producing Chaeron, a student of Plato who seized tyrannical power there around 365 BC — an episode Aristotle cited as a cautionary case of philosophical education producing political monsters rather than philosopher-kings.

Bronze issues of this type are documented across multiple SNG Copenhagen specimens, suggesting reasonable die survival, though Pellene's bronze output never approached the volume of its larger Achaean neighbors.
