| Obverse description | Head of a ram facing right, rendered in a compact and somewhat stylized manner characteristic of late Classical Anatolian bronze coinage. The animal's facial features, including the curved horn and muzzle, are visible despite the heavily corroded flan surface. The design fills the field, with no surrounding legend or border. |

| Additional information |
Kebren was a minor Troad city whose independent coinage effectively ceased following Alexander's campaigns through Asia Minor. This bronze hemiobol belongs to what appears to be the final phase of municipal issue before Kebren was absorbed — likely by Alexandros Troas, the synoikism founded around 310 BC that consolidated several smaller Troad settlements and extinguished their separate civic identities almost overnight.
