| Beschrijving voorzijde | An ass standing to the right occupies the central field, rendered in high relief in the characteristic archaic style of Macedonian civic coinage. The animal is depicted in a naturalistic pose with fine detailing of the mane and musculature. The design is set within a plain circular border, with no legend present on this side. The striking is slightly off-center, consistent with hand-hammered production of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mende, situated on the westernmost prong of the Chalkidike peninsula, was among the most prolific wine exporters in the Aegean world, and its coinage circulated widely through trade networks stretching from the Black Sea to Egypt. The city sided with Athens during much of this period before joining the Chalkidic League under Olynthos — a shift that had direct consequences for its mint output. The tetrobol denomination served commercial exchange at a level below the didrachm and was struck in quantity precisely because small-denomination silver was the working currency of harbor trade.
SNG ANS 352 is a well-documented die pairing within a series notorious for fabric inconsistencies across its run.
