| Additional information |
Terone was a Chalcidian colony on the westernmost prong of the Chalkidike peninsula, a settlement that changed hands repeatedly during the Peloponnesian War. Brasidas took the city from Athens in 424 BC, and the subsequent decades saw the region contested between Macedon, Olynthos, and Athens — precisely the turbulent window in which this tetrobol was struck.
The city's coinage is rare by any measure. SNG Copenhagen 342 represents one of the few institutionally documented specimens of this denomination from Terone.
