The attribution of this so far unknown issue to the Aeolian Myrina and not to the city of Myrina on Lemnos is due to the fact that from the latter there are only known bronzes from the end of the Hellenistic period. The Aeolian Myrina on the other hand struck silver coins of Alexander types at the end of the 4th c. BC. and had a quite large coinage from the 2nd c. BC. onwards. The style of the head on the obv. makes a date to the end of the classical period plausible, one could compare it with issues of Mytilene (cf. Bodenstedt 90 or 109) or Phocaea (cf. Bodenstedt 94 or 162). The iconography of the rev. is not surprising: the stag is the symbol of Artemis, of whom worship is attested. The goddess is represented on hemidrachms of about 300 BC. (cf. ZfN 3 [1876], pl. VIII, 17).

Myrina (AD 20) AE 18 - Ti Claudius Drusus (?), son of Claudius I and Urguanilla1339 viewsTi Claudius Drusus (?), son of Claudius I and Urguanilla, ca 20 AD. AE18 (3.77g). TI KΛAVΔIOC ΔPOYCOC, bare head right / MYPINAIΩN, laureate draped bust of Apollo right. Extremely rare; only two more known, one in Ashmolean, one in Bibliotheque Nationale. Minor roughness, reverse off center, about very fine.

This is the only issue carrying these names in existence. Excluding Claudius Drusus, the father of Claudius I (his praenomen was Decimus not Tiberius), and Claudius the emperor (he actually had this name, but only until 4 AD), the only remaining Claudius Drusus left is the son of Claudius I and Urguanilla. He was to marry the daughter of Sejanes, but died young in about 20 AD. This and possibly an issue from Clazomenae (RPC I, 2500 ΔPOYCOC HPWC) would be only ones known for this person. The Apollo reverse was tradional at Myrina, coins from this mint are extremely rare for the Julian-Claudian period (totally 3 cited in RPC from 2 issues).

While such coins are generally assigned to an uncertain Thraco-Macedonian mint, the style of the current coin is more refined than any of the horse types in Tzamalis. “Horse/incuse” types were almost certainly minted at multiple locations, and a mint in (western?) Asia Minor would seem logical based on provenances.
