Ancient bronze coin (AE18) from Mysia, dating approximately to 200–133 BC.
The obverse features the bearded head of Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, rendered in classical Hellenistic style with flowing hair and strong facial structure. The reverse type includes serpent iconography, a symbol often associated with divine protection, healing cults, or local religious traditions of Asia Minor.
Coins of Mysia from this period reflect the regional artistic character of western Anatolia during the late Hellenistic era.
