Hemidrachm

Beschrijving voorzijde	Youthful male head facing right, likely depicting Apollo or a local hero, wearing a wreath of laurel or olive leaves rendered in an archaic Cretan style. The hair falls in loose waves around the face, with bold, stylized engraving characteristic of 4th-century Cretan coinage. The portrait is set within an irregularly shaped flan with a gently granular surface typical of hammered silver issues. The facial features, though worn, display a defined brow, eye socket, and cheek consistent with early Classical Greek portraiture.

Beschrijving keerzijde	A male figure, identified as Hermes or a local deity, rendered frontally in a stiff, archaic posture, standing between two columns or pillar-like supports, evoking a cult statue or heroon image. The figure appears draped or lightly clothed, with arms slightly extended or held at the sides, depicted in a linear, schematic style consistent with Cretan die-engraving of the 4th century BC. The ethnic inscription AΞIΩN appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Axos. The design is contained within a plain, incuse square or shallow border typical of contemporary Aegean silver coinage.
