| Beschrijving keerzijde | Apollo Grynios depicted standing in three-quarter view facing right, holding a laurel branch in his right hand and a phiale (libation bowl) in his left, in reference to his celebrated oracular sanctuary at Grynion in Aeolis. A monogram appears to the left in the field, while an omphalos and an amphora are placed at the deity's feet, serving as sacred cult attributes. The entire design is enclosed within a laurel wreath, a hallmark of the Myrhina civic coinage, lending the reverse a formal, sacral character. The ethnic legend MYPINAIΩN is inscribed within the wreath, identifying the issuing city. |

Myrina, an Aeolian city on the western coast of Asia Minor, issued this tetradrachm during a period when the Attalid kingdom of Pergamon effectively controlled the region — yet the city retained enough civic autonomy to strike its own coinage. These issues belong to the "New Style" stephanophoric tradition that spread across the Aegean in the mid-second century, partly enabled by Rome's dismemberment of the Macedonian kingdom after Pydna in 168 BC, which disrupted the dominant monetary powers and opened space for smaller civic mints.
The Jameson 1461 reference ties this specific die combination to a well-documented but small corpus. Myrina's tetradrachm output across this entire period was modest, and matched dies across collections are not uncommon — a sign of limited production runs rather than wide circulation.
