| Beschrijving voorzijde | Head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, rendered in low relief in the archaic Greek provincial style. The facial features are summarily engraved, with the profile displaying a pronounced nose and chin. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription present on this side. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, characteristic of struck bronze coinage of the Achaean region during the early Hellenistic period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Dyme was the westernmost of the twelve cities of the Achaean League, sitting near the promontory of Cape Araxos in Achaea. Its independent civic coinage, of which this piece is part, predates the League's revival in 281 BC and the subsequent shift toward federal silver issues. Bronze fractions like this tetrachalkon circulated locally for small transactions at a time when Dyme's harbor made it a modest but functional commercial node on the Corinthian Gulf.
BCD Peloponnesos 474 represents one of the more carefully documented specimens of this type, catalogued from the landmark Lanz auction of the BCD collection in 2006.
