| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine archaic-transitional Greek style. The hair is elaborately rendered with parallel incised striations swept back from the brow, bound by a laurel wreath. The facial features are delicately modeled with a gently parted lip, a well-defined nose, and a serene expression characteristic of 4th-century BC Aeolian coinage. The neck is clearly articulated, and the portrait fills the flan with confident die-cutting. |

| Additional information |
Neandria was a small Troad city eventually abandoned in favor of Alexandreia Troas, founded by Antigonus around 310 BC — which explains why coinage from Neandria effectively stops. The city's population was forcibly relocated, ending the mint entirely rather than allowing it to fade through economic decline.
