Comment
SNG Ashmolean 1048; SNG Arikantürk 263.Interesting fact
The Æ7 coin from Antandros (Troad) was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Antandros, which was located in the Troad region of Anatolia (modern-day Turkey). The coin features an image of a mythical creature called a griffin, which was a symbol of protection and strength in ancient Greek mythology. The coin's design and imagery reflect the cultural and artistic influences of the time, and provide a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and trade practices of ancient civilizations.
