| Additional information |
Argos was one of the few Peloponnesian cities that maintained meaningful silver coinage into the mid-third century BC, long after many neighbors had effectively abandoned independent monetary production under Macedonian pressure. This triobol belongs to a period when Argos navigated shifting alliances between the Antigonid kingdom and the emerging Achaean League, and the city's mint output reflects that instability — issues are irregular in volume and the series shows considerable die variation across a compressed timespan.
The BCD specimen catalogued at #1113 is among the better-documented die links for this phase of Argive coinage.
