Historical Context: Peloponnesos was a major large “island†south of mainland Greece in the Mediterrarrean Sea . Sikyon was the Capital city located on the northern edge of Peloponnesos. This area was slow to develop coinage because its needs were served by the large quantities of silver staters minted by Aigina. After the fall of Sparta , coin production flourised. By the end of the 4th Century the area was under the control of the Macedonian Empire.

Historical Context: This coin was minted in Athens about mid 4th Century BC. Throughout most of the 5th century BC, after the Persian defeat, Athens ruled the Aegean world and became a great cultural and political center. The Peloponnesian War, 431-404 BC, drained Athens of her wealth, which led the way for Sparta and later the Macedonian Empire under Philip II (Father of Alexander the Great) to take control of the Greek World.
