背面描述	Hera, draped and standing in three-quarter view to the right, holds a long scepter in her right hand while grasping the reins with both hands as she drives a quadriga of horses walking to the right. The composition conveys stately divine authority. To the left of the central design appear the letters Μ and Μ arranged vertically, and to the right the letter Σ, likely magistrate initials. The ethnic inscription ΧΑΛΚΙΔΕΩΝ arcs within a laurel or oak wreath tied at the left, framing the entire reverse design.

附加信息	Chalkis controlled the critical strait between Euboea and the Boeotian mainland, and its coinage reflects a city that understood its own strategic value — periodically playing Rome against Macedon during the tense decades following the Second Macedonian War. By 170 BC, with the Third Macedonian War about to erupt, the city was navigating an increasingly dangerous political position. Tetradrachms of this period are scarce; the BCD collection, the definitive reference for Euboean coinage, recorded only a handful of closely die-linked specimens under this number.
