| Beschrijving keerzijde | A tall, slender Delphic tripod set on a three-legged base occupies the central field, rendered in a linear, stylized manner with a fluted cauldron surmounting the legs. The ethnic legend ΔΑΜΑΣΤΙΝΩΝ is disposed in two columns flanking the tripod on either side, reading vertically in archaic Greek characters. The overall composition is bold and schematic, consistent with the engraving conventions of Illyrian silver coinage of the early fourth century BC. |

Damastion was a silver-mining polis in the interior of Illyria whose precise location remains disputed — most scholars place it somewhere in the region of modern North Macedonia or southwestern Serbia, near the ore deposits that justified its existence. The city minted prolifically relative to its brief independent history, and its coinage circulated well beyond Illyrian territory into Macedonian and Epirote commercial networks. May's die study remains the foundational reference, identifying over a dozen obverse dies for this type alone — a number suggesting sustained, organized production rather than emergency issue.
