Phokian League, Phalaikos or The Triumvirate, 351 - 346 B.C.
|Phokis|, |Phokian| |League,| |Phalaikos| |or| |The| |Triumvirate,| |351| |-| |346| |B.C.|, Phalaikos was ousted as the ruler of Phocis in 348 and replaced by the triumvirate of Deionkrates, Kallias and Sophanes, who ruled until 346. The three bull heads undoubtedly indicate a value three times contemporary types, which were about 1/3 the weight and with one bull head on the obverse. Perhaps this larger denomination was issued during these lean years to convince the populace of the arrival of better times. According to the Historia Numorum, the complete devastation of the land by Philip in 346 put an end to coinage in Phocis. Later types do exist but they are fewer and scarce or rare.
