| Beschrijving voorzijde | Turreted head of Artemis facing left, wearing a mural crown rendered with distinctive battlemented towers above her hair. The portrait is executed in a bold, somewhat provincial Hellenistic style, with flowing locks escaping beneath the crown and falling along the neck. The facial features are modelled in medium relief, consistent with civic bronze coinage of the Troad region during the late Classical to early Hellenistic period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Abydos held one of the most strategically critical positions in the ancient world — controlling the narrowest point of the Hellespont, where Xerxes built his famous pontoon bridge in 480 BC and where Alexander crossed into Asia in 334 BC. The city's bronze coinage of this period reflects a municipality generating real commercial revenue from that chokepoint, levying tolls on grain ships moving between the Black Sea and the Aegean.
The date range spans the transition from Achaemenid to Macedonian hegemony over the Troad — a shift that restructured civic finances across the region almost overnight.
