Trihemiobol

Delphi's autonomous coinage was brief and politically complicated. The sanctuary at Delphi operated under the shifting control of the Amphictyonic League, and the city's ability to issue independent coinage depended entirely on periods when local authorities held enough autonomy to strike in their own name. This small silver issue falls within one of those windows, likely before the First Sacred War's aftermath had fully consolidated Amphictyonic dominance over the sanctuary's finances.

The BCD Lokris reference places this piece within a well-documented private collection that formed the backbone of scholarly understanding for central Greek coinage of this period.
