Æ12

Phygela was a minor coastal settlement near Ephesus on the Ionian coast, known primarily from ancient sources as a refuge — its name linked by some ancient writers to the Greek word for flight, with a tradition that fugitives from Agamemnon's fleet founded it. The city struck bronze coinage only briefly, and surviving examples are genuinely scarce. The SNG Copenhagen 1072 variant designation suggests a die or type deviation not fully catalogued, which is unsurprising given how little systematic work has been done on Phygelan bronzes specifically.
