| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of a female deity facing right, likely Hera or a local goddess, wearing a stephane or diadem over wavy hair rendered in detailed relief. The hair falls in soft locks behind the neck, and the facial features are rendered in the refined Hellenistic style typical of Cretan civic coinage of the late 4th to early 3rd century BC. A beaded border frames the design around the coin's irregular flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Priansos was a minor polis on Crete's southern slopes, and its coinage output was modest even by the standards of small Cretan city-states. The SNG Copenhagen reference places this drachm within a tightly documented sequence, but the city itself left almost no literary record — its history reconstructed almost entirely through numismatic and archaeological evidence. Crete's political fragmentation during this period meant dozens of poleis struck their own silver, often in imitation of or competition with neighbors like Gortyna and Phaistos.
The Svoronos classification remains the primary scholarly anchor for Cretan bronzes and silvers of this type.
