| Beschrijving voorzijde | Forepart of a bull advancing to the left, head turned back to the right in a characteristic archaic rendering. A swastika symbol appears in the upper left field, while an olive branch with leaf and berry is depicted in the upper right field. The design is executed in bold, high relief typical of northern Greek mint production of the early Classical period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Akanthos, a Macedonian coastal colony founded by Andros, derived its name from the thistles covering the local terrain and its wealth from controlling timber routes feeding shipbuilders across the Aegean. The city struck silver using bullion from the mines of nearby Mount Pangaion, the same mountain range that would later fund Philip II's military campaigns.
SNG ANS 7#37 places this tetrobol within a well-documented sequence, though die linkage studies for Akanthian fractional silver remain incomplete.
