| Additional information |
Thasos built its silver coinage on the back of its Thracian mainland mining concessions and a highly profitable wine trade — revenues substantial enough that the island maintained one of the most consistent tetradrachm series in the northern Aegean across this entire half-century. The chronology of the series has been disputed; the range assigned here reflects ongoing scholarly disagreement about when certain die phases begin and end, with West and later studies frequently at odds over anchor points.
The "var." notation against the Thasiennes reference signals a die pairing or control mark deviation from the principal recorded specimen — worth noting for anyone pursuing die-link studies of the series.
