Beschrijving keerzijde Facing gorgoneion depicted in archaic style, set within a recessed incuse square executed by the hammered technique. The Gorgon mask is rendered frontally with a broad, grimacing visage, prominent round eyes, and a wide open mouth with protruding tongue. Serpents writhe around the head and intertwine across the lower portion of the design, characteristic of the apotropaic iconography common to late archaic Greek coinage of Asia Minor. The incuse square has clearly defined borders, and the field within is dominated entirely by the gorgoneion with no inscription or legend.

Aanvullende informatie

Kebren was a minor Aeolian city in the Troad, situated on the Kebren river inland from the more prominent coastal settlements. It struck its own coinage during the fifth century despite limited political reach — a common enough assertion of autonomy among small Anatolian poleis during the period when Persian satrapal authority nominally governed the region but left civic minting largely undisturbed. The Bement reference places this piece within a well-documented early collection, the Bement sale of 1924 being a landmark dispersal of Greek bronzes and silvers that seeded many institutional holdings.
