Æ17

Myrina, an Aeolian city on the western coast of Asia Minor, struck bronze coinage with considerable autonomy during the Hellenistic period despite sitting within the contested sphere of Pergamene and later Seleucid influence. The SNG Copenhagen 987 reference places this piece within a well-documented but modestly sized civic series — Myrina never achieved the commercial weight of Smyrna or Ephesus, and its bronze issues circulated primarily in local and regional exchange rather than broader Aegean trade networks.
