| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Corinthian helmet facing right, depicted with prominent transverse crest, cheek guards, and flowing neck-guard rendered in fine relief. The helmet is centrally placed within a recessed incuse square of quadrate form, itself enclosed within a double linear border, a hallmark of early Macedonian coinage design. The incuse field surrounding the helmet bears a slightly rough, hammered texture characteristic of the period. The composition is unlettered, with no legend or mint mark present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Perdiccas II ruled Macedonia through one of the most tactically complex periods in northern Greek politics, repeatedly switching alliances between Athens and Sparta as the pressures of the Peloponnesian War mounted. His relationship with Athens was particularly volatile — he actively encouraged the Chalcidian cities to revolt from the Athenian empire around 432 BC, then sought Athenian support when it suited him, then undermined it again. The tetrobol belongs to a coinage that financed exactly this kind of fractious, shifting statecraft on the Macedonian frontier.
