Trichalkon

Phalanna was a minor Thessalian city whose independent bronze coinage is poorly documented precisely because the city itself rarely commanded historical attention — it appears in ancient sources mainly as a casualty of Philip II's reorganization of Thessaly in the 340s BC, after which its civic autonomy was severely curtailed. That this trichalkon exists at all suggests a period of renewed or residual municipal minting activity, possibly under Macedonian tolerance rather than full independence.
