Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in fine archaic-transitional Greek style. The hair is elaborately rendered in long flowing locks falling behind the neck, with the laurel wreath clearly articulated across the brow. The facial features display a serene expression characteristic of early 4th-century Greek coin portraiture. The flan is slightly irregular, as typical of hammered silver coinage of this period and region.

Beschrijving keerzijde Bearded head of Prokles facing right, wearing a Persian-style tiara or soft headdress, identifying him as a satrap or dynast under Achaemenid influence. A tamgha or personal badge, associated with Prokles, appears below the chin in the field. The portrait displays individualistic features consistent with dynastic portraiture of the Troad and Mysian region circa 400–399 BC, reflecting the fusion of Greek artistic conventions with Persian court iconography.

Aanvullende informatie

Teuthrania was a minor dynastic stronghold in Mysia, controlled in this period by Gongylus of Eretria and his descendants — Greek exiles rewarded with the territory by the Persian king for services rendered during Xerxes' invasion of Greece. The coinage they issued occupies an awkward numismatic space: Greek in form, but minted under Persian sufferance by a family that had betrayed the Greek cause. Very few examples are known, reflecting the town's limited political reach and brief period of autonomous coin production.
