Nicht in Schönert-Geiss, Zuweisung an das thrakische Dikaia auf Grund der selben Motive bei den Trihemiobolen.

Literature

Psoma, Did the So-called Thraco-Macedonian Standard Exist?, 2015 p. 168 (Reduced Chian standard, c. 480-450 BC. Psoma isn\'t mentioning an obol, but in Abdera a coin with the same weight is called 12th-Hemihekta by her.)  ❐
