| Additional information |
Elaia served as the port city of Pergamon long before Pergamon became a major power, and bronze civic issues like this one circulated in a harbor economy dependent on Aegean trade routes. The city never achieved political independence of any consequence, which makes its coinage essentially a record of municipal administration rather than dynastic ambition. SNG Copenhagen 174 is a well-documented type, but die matches across collections remain sparse.
