Troas, Kebren Hemidrachm Ca. 520-480 BC. Very rare!

A very rare silver hemidrachm of Kebren, circa 520–480 BC, featuring the city’s characteristic ram’s head left and a quadripartite incuse square on the reverse. This archaic issue represents a very rare denomination within Kebren’s early silver coinage, as noted by CNG for a comparable specimen: https://www.numisbids.com/sale/1834/lot/?lot=134 Troas, Kebren. Ca. 520-480 BC. Hemidrachm (Silver, 11.8 mm, 1.88 g). Obv: Ram's head left Rev: Quadripartite incuse square Reference: Unpublished in standard reference. Asia Minor Coins: http://www.asiaminorcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=15543. Kebren was an ancient city in the Skamander valley of the Troad, near Mount Ida, where Aeolian Greeks lived alongside an Anatolian population. Its earliest silver coins appeared in the late sixth century BC, with the ram’s head becoming its characteristic emblem. This hemidrachm belongs to that early monetary tradition. Kebren later paid tribute to Athens through the Delian League, before passing between Persian and Spartan control.
