Triobol

正面描述	The Chimaera, the mythological composite beast and civic symbol of Sikyon, depicted in a prowling stance to right above a ground line. The creature displays a lion's body with muscular forelegs, claws extended, and a serpent tail curling upward, while the goat's head rises prominently from the back. The figure is rendered in fine archaic-to-classical relief with careful attention to the musculature and surface texture of the beast. No legend or inscription appears in the field.

附加信息	Sikyon occupied an awkward political position during this decade — nominally within Philip II of Macedon's expanding sphere after 338 BC, yet retaining enough civic autonomy to continue issuing its own silver. The triobol denomination served interregional trade rather than purely local exchange, reflecting Sikyon's position as a commercial hub on the Gulf of Corinth route between the Peloponnese and central Greece. BCD 237 is a well-documented specimen from the Basil Demetriadi collection, one of the most rigorously catalogued Peloponnesian series ever assembled at auction.
