Myrina was a minor Aeolian Greek city on the western coast of Asia Minor, and its coinage output was modest even by regional standards. Hemiobols of this type are among the smallest fractions produced by the city, struck at a weight that left almost no margin for error at the die — a single misaligned blow could render the flan unrecognizable.
The reference grouping across three catalog numbers suggests die variation within the type, likely reflecting intermittent production across decades rather than a single organized issue.
