Trihemiobol

Knidos occupied a strategically awkward position on the tip of the Datça Peninsula — so remote by land that the city functioned almost entirely by sea, and its fractional silver coinage reflects that mercantile orientation. The trihemiobol denomination, worth one and a half obols, was practical tender for small harbour transactions at a port that handled significant Aegean trade in the early fifth century.

The SNG Keckman reference places this among a tight cluster of Knidian fractionals catalogued from a single collection, which means die-link studies across the 96–98 range remain the most reliable tool for attribution.
