| Reverse description | Bare head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine archaic Greek style with wavy hair swept back from the forehead and gathered loosely at the nape. The youthful, idealised features display the characteristic almond-shaped eye and gently parted lips typical of late archaic and early classical Mysian coinage. No legend or border inscription is present; the field is plain within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Kebren was a minor Troad city whose independent coinage effectively ended with Antigonus I's consolidation of the region following the wars of the Diadochi. This obol belongs to a civic series struck during a window of autonomy that closed permanently — Kebren itself was eventually synoikized into Alexandreia Troas around 310 BC, absorbing its population and ending municipal coin production entirely.
