Tetrachalkon Corinth

The Achaean League's bronze issues occupy a peculiar position in Greek federal coinage — the League's silver was struck at multiple mints with careful controls, but the attribution of bronzes like this tetrachalkon to specific member cities remains contested among specialists. BCD lot 73.3 reflects the collector Basil Demetriadi's own working attributions, which don't always align with subsequent scholarship.

The League's minting activity was curtailed permanently in 146 BC when Lucius Mummius sacked Corinth and Rome dissolved the confederation entirely, leaving late-series bronzes with no successor issues.
