| Beschrijving keerzijde | Facing head of Aphrodite, the civic deity of Knidos, set within a recessed rectangular incuse punch. The portrait is rendered in fine archaic style, turned slightly to the right, with hair depicted in a structured coiffure drawn back from the face. The incuse square is clearly defined with raised inner borders, a hallmark of early Greek silver coinage technique. The goddess's features are rendered with delicacy notable for the period, including a pronounced eye and softly modeled cheek. No legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Knidos occupied a strategically awkward position on the tip of the Datça Peninsula — so remote by land that the city functioned almost entirely by sea, and its fractional silver coinage reflects that mercantile orientation. The trihemiobol denomination, worth one and a half obols, was practical tender for small harbour transactions at a port that handled significant Aegean trade in the early fifth century.
The SNG Keckman reference places this among a tight cluster of Knidian fractionals catalogued from a single collection, which means die-link studies across the 96–98 range remain the most reliable tool for attribution.
