Chalkous

正面描述	Turreted head of Cybele facing right, rendered in low relief in the archaic Greek provincial style. The goddess wears a characteristic mural crown (kalathos), a defining attribute of her civic and protective role. The portrait is executed with summary but recognizable detail, consistent with small-denomination bronze coinage of the Propontis region circa 350 BC. The flan is irregular, as typical of hammered copper issues of this period.

附加信息	Plakia was a small Hellenized settlement in the Propontis region, on the southern shore near the Troad, inhabited largely by Pelasgian descendants according to Herodotus. That a community of this size struck its own copper coinage at all reflects the degree to which autonomous civic identity expressed itself through minting rights in fourth-century Asia Minor, even among towns of negligible regional power. The chalkous was the smallest denomination in the Greek bronze hierarchy.
