| Additional information |
Audoleon was the last significant king of Paeonia, ruling a territory wedged between Macedonia and Thrace at a moment when both neighbors were consumed by the Wars of the Diadochi. Striking in the name of Alexander III was a deliberate political posture — not mere imitation — allowing Paeonian silver to circulate with legitimacy across markets dominated by Macedonian-standard coinage. The mint attribution to either Astibos or Damastion remains genuinely unresolved; the two sites are catalogued together precisely because the die evidence has not yet settled the question.
