Tetrachalkon

Pelinna was a minor Thessalian polis in the Histiaeotis region, and its bronze coinage is sparse enough that the BCD collection references dominate the scholarly record — a sign of how few specimens circulated far enough to reach major hoards. The city sat in the Peneios river valley and held some strategic relevance during the Macedonian period, though it never achieved the output of larger Thessalian mints like Larissa or Pharsalos.

The spread of reference numbers across two BCD Thessaly volumes suggests minor die variations between issues, likely reflecting interrupted production rather than a continuous mint program.
