| Beschrijving voorzijde | Janiform double head comprising a laureate and bearded male head of Zeus facing left conjoined with a diademed female head of Hera facing right, the two effigies joined at the neck in the archaic Tenedian tradition. The janiform design is rendered in high relief with carefully articulated facial features, Zeus displaying a full beard and laurel wreath crown, while Hera wears a royal diadem. This distinctive double-headed type is characteristic of Tenedian coinage and draws upon the island's long-established iconographic tradition. The necks are truncated horizontally at the base. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tenedos, a small island at the mouth of the Hellespont, controlled the strait's anchorage traffic for centuries and leveraged that position into a surprisingly robust coinage. By the late second century BC the island was nominally under Roman influence following the settlement of the eastern Aegean, yet continued striking civic issues — this tetradrachm among them — reflecting the ambiguous autonomy small Aegean communities maintained well after Pergamene power collapsed in 133 BC.
The Weber specimen (2622) remains one of the better-documented examples in the series. Callataÿ's die study places this emission tightly within a compressed production window, suggesting a single concentrated striking episode rather than sustained output.
