| Additional information |
Adramyttion, the Mysian coastal city refounded by the Athenians in the mid-fifth century BC, struck this small fractional silver during a period when the region was contested ground between Persian satrapal authority and shifting Aegean alliances. The city's coinage output was modest and episodic — this obol sits at the lighter end of even reduced Persian-influenced weight standards, suggesting local adaptation rather than adherence to any single monetary system.
