| Additional information |
Patraos ruled Paeonia — the kingdom wedged between Macedon and Thrace — during the reign of Philip II and the early campaigns of Alexander the Great. His coinage reflects direct Macedonian stylistic influence, unsurprising given that Paeonia existed in near-constant negotiation between autonomy and absorption. The tetrobol denomination itself was a practical choice for regional trade rather than prestige issues, and surviving examples in any condition are genuinely scarce; Paeonian silver circulated hard in a frontier economy with few hoards to preserve it.
