Additional information

Neandria was a minor Troad city whose entire civic existence was essentially terminated by Antigonus I around 310 BC, when its population was forcibly synoikized into the newly founded Antigoneia. That forced migration makes coins attributable to Neandria genuinely terminal issues — there was no gradual decline in minting, just an abrupt administrative end imposed by a Macedonian successor who was aggressively consolidating the region.
