| Beschrijving voorzijde | Nude male rider advancing left on horseback, depicted in archaic style. The figure holds a trident in his raised left hand, likely representing Poseidon, the divine patron of Potidaia. A six-pointed star appears in the lower field beneath the horse. The rendering is vigorous and characteristic of late Archaic Greek coinage, with bold relief and careful attention to the musculature of both horse and rider. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Potidaia was a Corinthian colony founded around 600 BC on the narrow isthmus connecting the Pallene peninsula to the Chalcidice mainland — a position that made it both strategically vital and perpetually contested. The city's close ties to Corinth are reflected in its early coinage, which follows Corinthian weight standards. This tetrobol falls within the archaic phase of that output, before the city's allegiances became the flashpoint that helped trigger the Peloponnesian War in 432 BC.
The SNG ANS 692 variety designation signals a die difference from the principal recorded specimen — modest, but meaningful in a series where individual dies are often traceable to very short production runs.
