| Additional information |
By the late second century BC, Athenian "New Style" tetradrachms had become a dominant trading currency across the eastern Mediterranean, issued in massive volumes under rotating magistrate names — the three names on this coin identify the annual board responsible for its authorization. Thompson's 1961 corpus remains the definitive reference for the series, and the specific magistrate combination here places it within a well-documented sequence, cross-referenced as both Thompson 951b and the later Flament-Burnett 1602 classification.
