| Beschrijving voorzijde | Prancing horse advancing to the left in high relief, rendered with naturalistic musculature characteristic of early Classical Greek coinage. The horse is depicted with its right foreleg and left hind leg raised in a dynamic trotting pose. Above the horse's back appears a laurel wreath, serving as a civic symbol of Maroneia. The ethnic legend ΜΑΡΩΝΕΙΤΕΩΝ is inscribed in two lines to the right of the horse within the open field, framed by the coin's slightly irregular circular border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Maroneia, a Thasian colony on the Thracian coast, controlled access to some of the most productive wine-growing territory in the ancient Aegean world. These tetradrachms circulated widely through Thrace and into Macedon, where local dynasts accepted them alongside their own issues. The magistrate name Metrodotos places this piece within a relatively narrow administrative window, useful for sequencing the city's coinage but only recently systematized through Schönert-Geiss's die study.
The series predates Maroneia's absorption into the Macedonian orbit under Philip II.
