Tetradrachm

Myrina was among the most prolific issuers of the so-called "stephanophoric" tetradrachms produced across Aeolis and neighboring regions from the mid-second century BC onward, a coinage tradition that emerged as Athens reasserted the prestige of its own silver and civic mints throughout the Aegean scrambled to produce competitive, widely-accepted currency. The Myrinaean series is distinguished by unusually consistent die workmanship across the run, suggesting a well-organized civic mint rather than emergency or episodic production.

SNG Copenhagen 205-210 covers several obverse and reverse die combinations within this date range — individual specimens can sometimes be matched to specific die pairings documented in scholarship on the Aeolian stephanophorics.
