A kantharos appears below in the field. The ethnic legend ΟΠΟΝΤΙΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing community of Opous. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lokroi Opuntii occupied a peculiar position in fourth-century Greek politics — nominally allied with Philip II of Macedon after Chaironeia in 338 BC, yet still producing independent civic coinage, which this piece dates to precisely that uneasy accommodation. The city was the principal settlement of Opuntian Lokris, a narrow coastal strip along the Euboean Gulf, and its mint output was never large. SNG Copenhagen 50 represents one of the better-documented die groupings for this fractional silver.
The triobol denomination was the workhorse of small Lokrian commerce — half a drachm, practical for daily transactions in a region without significant monetary infrastructure.
