| Beschrijving keerzijde | A kithara (lyre) with seven strings displayed facing, the instrument's arms terminating in volute-like scrolls and flanked by decorative tendrils or branches in the field. The crossbar at the top of the kithara is adorned with a row of pellets representing the tuning pegs, and circular sound holes are visible on either side of the soundbox. The ethnic legend ΧΑΛΚΙΔΕΩΝ is distributed around the periphery of the field, reading partially above and to the sides of the instrument. The overall design is bold and finely engraved, characteristic of the high-quality die-cutting associated with the Chalkidean League coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Chalkidian League was a federalist experiment — unusual in the Greek world — founded largely in response to Athenian imperial pressure during the Peloponnesian War period. Olynthos served as its dominant city and mint, and the league's coinage functioned as a deliberate political statement of collective identity against outside interference. Philip II of Macedon ultimately dismantled the league in 348 BC after a siege of Olynthos, selling the population into slavery and razing the city. Coins of this federation ceased production at that moment, which gives the terminus date a particular finality.
