| Additional information |
Syros, one of the smaller Cycladic islands, produced a limited civic coinage during the mid-second century BC — a period when most Aegean island mints were either dormant or operating under the shadow of Rhodian commercial dominance. The Dewing 1968 variety attribution suggests a minor die difference from the principal recorded type, likely identifiable through the arrangement of control marks rather than any substantive design change.
Island tetradrachms of this weight standard align with the Attic system, positioning Syros within broader Aegean trade networks despite the island's modest political standing.
