Additional information

Myrhina was a small Aeolian city on the western coast of Asia Minor, and its independent silver coinage was produced during a window of relative autonomy before the region fell firmly under Macedonian and later Seleucid control. Issues this small in module were struck for local exchange — regional markets, port transactions — and saw hard use, which explains why survivors in any appreciable condition are genuinely uncommon. The SNG Arikantürk corpus, drawn largely from Turkish collections and hoards, remains the primary reference for many obscure Aeolian civic types precisely because western excavation records for this area are fragmentary.
