| Additional information |
Parion, a Mysian Greek colony on the Propontis (modern Sea of Marmara), occupied a commercially vital position on the main shipping corridor between the Aegean and the Black Sea. The city's bronze coinage of this period was produced during decades of shifting Macedonian and Persian influence over the region, falling squarely in the contested years when Alexander's campaigns were beginning to redraw the political map of Asia Minor.
The SNG France reference cited as "cf." signals a close but not exact match — likely a die variant or minor typological deviation from the catalogued specimen.
