背面描述	A sphinx, depicted in a kneeling-recumbent posture facing right, with wings raised and dotted body markings visible across the haunches and wing coverts; the tail curls upward behind the figure. The Greek legend ΓΕΡ appears in the upper left field, serving as an abbreviated ethnic for Gergis. The entire design is set within a shallow incuse square, typical of small silver fractional coinage of the Troad region during the late 5th century BC.

附加信息	Gergis was a minor city in the Troad — the northwestern corner of Asia Minor — whose coinage is tied to a community that largely disappears from the historical record after the Persian and then Macedonian consolidations of the region. The obol denomination at this weight sits at the lower functional edge of daily silver coinage, the kind of piece used in market transactions rather than treasury reserves. Surviving examples are scarce; Gergis struck no large-denomination series that would anchor a collector tradition, and the city's obscurity means few ancient hoards have been attributed to it with certainty.
