| Additional information |
Gambrion was a minor Mysian city whose independent coinage output was limited and short-lived, making any survivor statistically uncommon. At 0.6 grams, this piece sat at the absolute lower threshold of practical bronze coinage — fractional by any measure, likely used for small transactions within a tight local market before the region fell fully under Macedonian administrative control in the late 4th century BC.
