Additional information

Terone was a Chalcidian colony on the westernmost prong of the Chalkidike peninsula, and its coinage is among the scarcest from that region — the city was sacked by Cleon's Athenian forces in 422 BC, effectively ending its independent mint. The tetrobol series falls squarely within the city's most active period, when Chalkidike colonies were navigating the pressure of Athenian imperial expansion through the Delian League.

The SNG ANS sequence 751–754 documents die linkages across this type, suggesting a small but organized output rather than emergency production.
