The youthful, beardless facial features display smooth modelling typical of 4th-century BC Asia Minor bronze coinage. The portrait occupies the full field of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hamaxitos was a minor Troad settlement whose civic identity was closely tied to the cult of Apollo Smintheus — the "mouse Apollo" — a distinctly regional deity whose worship predated and likely influenced the better-known Chryse sanctuary nearby. The city's coinage output was limited, and bronzes attributable to the fourth-century civic mint survive in small numbers across major collections.
The SNG Ashmolean and Munich concordance here is useful: both specimens were likely acquired through late nineteenth-century excavation lots from the Troad, the primary source of these minor civic bronzes entering European collections.
