| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing three-quarter bust of Apollo laureate, with long flowing curly hair cascading to either side, rendered in the distinctive high-relief style characteristic of late Classical Ionian coinage. The effigy is turned slightly to the right, displaying finely modelled facial features including almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, and slightly parted lips. The laureate wreath is visible atop the head, framing the face with elegant naturalism. The field is plain, with the design filling the flan almost entirely. The rendering reflects the accomplished artistry of the Klazomenian die-cutters of the fourth century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Klazomenai, an Ionian city on the Aegean coast of Anatolia, struck gold coinage only during a narrow window of political and military pressure — the decades following the King's Peace of 387 BC, which handed the Ionian Greek cities back to Persian control and forced local authorities into uneasy fiscal maneuvering. Gold issues from Klazomenai are rare precisely because the city reverted to silver as its standard whenever Persian tribute demands eased.
BMC Greek #17 places this among a small group of confirmed specimens, and the type is underrepresented in major collections relative to the city's silver coinage.
