背面描述	A double-headed axe (labrys) at centre, its long shaft extending vertically across the field, flanked in the lower quarters by two small standing figures — a male figure to the left and another to the right — with a bunch of grapes suspended between them below the axe head. The legend TENEΔIΩN is inscribed horizontally above the axe head. The entire design is encircled by an olive wreath border, a hallmark of late Hellenistic Tenedian coinage.

附加信息	Tenedos, a small Aegean island near the entrance to the Hellespont, controlled access to one of the ancient world's most strategically critical shipping lanes. Its coinage from this period reflects the island's persistent autonomy despite immense pressure from successive Hellenistic powers and, increasingly, Rome. The drachm series to which this piece belongs was catalogued by Callataÿ as part of a refined die study that established a tighter chronology than earlier scholarship had allowed. Production fell precisely within the decades when Roman influence over the Aegean was consolidating after the wars with Mithridates VI of Pontus — a turbulent window in which many island mints either ceased production or dramatically reduced output.
