Æ9

Gargara was a minor Troad city with a complicated existence — reportedly refounded or repopulated by Antigonos I using settlers forcibly relocated from surrounding communities, a common Hellenistic administrative practice that disrupted local civic identity. Whether this piece predates that reorganization or reflects the earlier independent polis is difficult to determine without clearer die linkage to dated issues.

The SNG Copenhagen variance notation suggests this specimen diverges from the six referenced examples, worth investigating against known die studies of Troadean bronze coinage.
