| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with long wavy locks falling behind the neck; the laurel wreath is depicted with careful detail, its leaves clearly delineated. The portrait exhibits a youthful, idealized physiognomy characteristic of late Hellenistic civic coinage from Aeolis. The high relief modeling and smooth fields reflect accomplished die engraving of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Myrina, an Aeolian city on the western coast of Asia Minor, was among several leagues of cities that began striking these heavy tetradrachms following the Roman defeat of the Seleucid king Antiochus III at Magnesia in 190 BC — a geopolitical rupture that opened the region to new commercial arrangements. The type associated with Sacks #44 belongs to a well-documented civic coinage that circulated widely across the eastern Aegean trade networks, not merely within Myrina's own economic reach.
The dies for this series show considerable consistency, suggesting a managed, semi-official production rather than emergency or opportunistic striking.
