. - Hemiobols of the so-called heavy thraco-macedonian standard bear an Apollo's head to r. or left on the obverse and a linear square divided into four smaller squares, divided into four triangles on the reverse. A number of theses was found in Olynthus. The striking stylistic similarity of their obverse type with the obverse type of chalcidic tetrobols makes their attribution to the chalcidic mint possible. They were probably struck before the hemiobols bearing a tripod on the reverse.
