Æ21

Klazomenai, one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League, had a long minting tradition stretching back to the archaic period — it was among the earliest Greek cities to produce electrum coinage in the sixth century BC. By the Hellenistic period covered by this issue, the city operated under shifting suzerainties: Seleucid, Pergamene, and eventually Roman, with the settlement of 133 BC folding much of Ionia into the province of Asia. The SNG Copenhagen and Munich references place this type firmly within a civic bronze series that continued through that transition without interruption.
