Æ11

正面描述	Confronting lion's head facing right in high relief, mouth open in a roar with prominent teeth visible, rendered in archaic Greek style with bold, expressive modeling. The mane is summarily indicated around the face, and the eye is depicted with characteristic stylized detail typical of Thracian Chersonesos bronzes. The head occupies the central field of the flan, with a rough, irregular border. The overall style reflects the vigorous artistic conventions of 5th–4th century BC Greek civic coinage.

附加信息	Chersonesos — the Thracian peninsula controlling the Hellespont — was one of the most strategically contested strips of land in the ancient Greek world, and Athenian interest in holding it was persistent enough that Miltiades the Elder effectively ruled it as a personal fiefdom in the late sixth century BC. The bronze coinage of this region circulated in a commercial environment shaped almost entirely by the grain trade flowing from the Black Sea through to Athens. At 1.5g and 11mm, this is fractional bronze at its most minimal — the kind of piece that moved through market stalls rather than treasuries.
