| Beschrijving voorzijde | Wolf walking to the right in high relief, rendered with naturalistic musculature and detailed fur texture; the animal is depicted in a crouching or prowling posture with head turned slightly downward. The type follows the canonical Argive series associating the city with the wolf, sacred to Apollo. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, characteristic of late Hellenistic hammered coinage from the Peloponnese. No legend appears on the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Argos struck silver fractions through much of the Hellenistic period under the authority of annually rotating magistrates, whose names appear as the primary means of dating these issues. Phaenou is among the lesser-documented of these magistrate names, which places this piece toward the sparser end of the civic series. The triobol denomination — half an obol short of a drachm — saw genuine commercial use in the Argolid market economy, not ceremonial or gift circulation.
By the late second and early first century BC, Argos operated under Roman suzerainty following the dissolution of the Achaean League in 146 BC.
