This stunning bronze AE10 coin from the ancient city of Kebren in Troas, dating from circa 400-300 B.C., is a remarkable example of early Greek regional coinage.

The obverse of the coin depicts Apollo, the god of prophecy, music, and healing, rendered with fine detail that highlights his divine presence. His serene expression and classical styling reflect the importance of Apollo in Greek religion and mythology.

The craftsmanship and design exemplify the skill of ancient engravers.

Despite its age, the coin remains in very fine (VF) condition, with clear imagery and a beautiful black patina that enhances its visual appeal and authenticity.
