| Additional information |
Miletos struck these tetradrachms during a period when the city operated under the shadow of Seleucid and then Pergamene influence, navigating its autonomy through carefully managed coinage. The magistrate name Demainos appears on a narrow range of dies within the series, placing this piece within a specific administrative moment rather than a broad civic program.
The Boston MFA specimen serves as the anchor reference for this magistrate's issues — a thin evidentiary base that makes die-linked examples unusually significant for establishing sequence and output volume.
