| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in archaic style with a simple Attic helmet covering the crown and nape of the neck. The facial features are boldly modeled in high relief, characteristic of fifth-century BC Greek coinage from the Troad region. No legend or inscription appears in the field. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of hand-struck silver fractions of this period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Incuse square containing a stylized eight-pointed star or wheel pattern, composed of four elongated pellets arranged along the cardinal axes alternating with four smaller round pellets, with a central raised boss. The design is executed within a shallow incuse punch, a hallmark of archaic Greek coinage production. The geometric starburst motif is characteristic of small silver fractions attributed to Kolone in the Troad. No legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kolone was a minor Troad settlement whose independent coinage output was extremely limited — this hemiobol represents one of the smallest denominations struck by a mint that itself barely registers in the ancient record. The city's coin production appears confined to a narrow window in the fifth century before it fell into obscurity, likely absorbed into the shifting Persian and then Athenian spheres of influence that dominated the Aegean coast during this period.
