AR-KI (K retrograde), bow and arrow. Liampi 9 
(O2/R2 ­ this coin); otherwise unpublished. 

One of only two bronze coins of Argilos known. 

Argilos was a small town that lay on the eastern 
edge of the Chalkidike. The numismatic record of 
Argilos, is detailed by Dr. K. Liampi ("Argilos - 
History and Coinage," NumKron 13 [1994], pp. 7-36) 

The majority of their known, very rare, coinage are 
silver denominations struck from the late 6th century BC. With Pegasos or its forepart on the obverse, the 
earliest coinage had a blank quadripartite square on the reverse, while later issues included the city name in the 
quarters of these squares. 
After a 100 year pause in minting, at the end of the 
Peloponnesian War, Argilos began striking two AE issues.
