Beschrijving keerzijde Facing head of a goat depicted in bold frontal aspect, the broad muzzle and curving horns rendered in high archaic relief. Two dolphins flank the central motif, oriented vertically with heads downward on either side, a distinctive and recurring type associated with Delphi's sacred iconography. The field shows the characteristic rough texture of a hammered flan, with no inscription or legend present.

Aanvullende informatie

Delphi's coinage was an anomaly among Greek sanctuaries — most panhellenic sites never struck their own issues, but the Amphictyonic League's administration of the Oracle gave Delphi both the authority and the practical need for local coin production, likely tied to religious fees, dedications, and the enormous flow of pilgrims and theoroi passing through the sanctuary. The trihemiobol denomination, fractional even by the standards of a small city-state, suggests these circulated within the temenos economy rather than in broader regional trade.
