Aversbeschreibung Lion passant right in the field, head turned back to face left, the left forepaw raised in a stepping gesture and the tail curled upward over the hindquarters. The feline musculature is rendered with considerable artistic vitality in the archaic Greek style, with a prominent mane indicated by incised striations along the neck and shoulders. The figure occupies the full breadth of the broadly spread flan, characteristic of Chersonesian silver coinage of the late archaic period.

Reversbeschreibung Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with a tall crest, and a visible earring indicating draped attire beneath. The portrait is rendered in the severe archaic style typical of late sixth to early fifth century BC Greek coinage. The entire design is set within a deeply recessed incuse square formed by the reverse die, a hallmark of early classical Greek minting technique. The field within the incuse square is plain, with no legend or additional devices.

Zusätzliche Informationen

Miltiades II governed the Thracian Chersonese as a hereditary tyrant under loose Achaemenid suzerainty before fleeing to Athens around 493 BC following a Phoenician naval pursuit — the same Miltiades who would command the Athenian forces at Marathon in 490 BC. These tetradrachms were struck during the final compressed window of his rule on the peninsula, making the issue chronologically tight and politically charged. The Weber and Hirsch references remain the primary anchors for attribution, with die linkage studies still unresolved across the known specimens.
