Beschrijving voorzijde Bare head of Artemis facing right, hair drawn back, rendered in low relief in the archaic Greek provincial style typical of Kean civic coinage. The portrait is relatively simple in execution, filling the central field of the flan without legend or additional device.

Aanvullende informatie

Ioulis was the principal city of Keos, an island that punched well above its weight in antiquity — birthplace of the poets Simonides and Bacchylides, and home to a famously strict law requiring citizens over sixty to drink hemlock rather than consume resources in old age. The city issued bronze coinage independently before Keos was absorbed into the administrative orbit of Athens and later the Macedonian successors. At under a gram, this piece would have served purely local exchange.
