| Additional information |
Tenedos, the small Aegean island just off the Troad coast, maintained its own coinage through a period of acute political instability — caught between Athenian ambitions, Persian pressure, and the competing interests of neighboring Lesbos. The island's autonomous issues of this period are remarkable precisely because the city had no obvious economic weight to justify them; the coinage appears to assert civic identity as much as facilitate trade.
The die-cutting for this series is notoriously inconsistent across the reference corpus, with SNG Copenhagen and von Aulock specimens showing measurable variation in flan preparation.
