| Beschrijving keerzijde | A trident displayed upright at centre, its three prongs pointing upward, flanked on either side by the inscription divided as ΠΡΙΝ to the left and TAYPIΣK to the right, all enclosed within a decorative square incuse border with step-pattern or meander ornament at the corners. The trident, a symbol associated with Poseidon, reflects the maritime character of Priene as an Ionian coastal city. The overall composition is geometric and carefully structured, typical of Hellenistic civic bronze coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Priene's coinage of this period is inseparable from the city's refounding. Alexander the Great personally funded the reconstruction of the Temple of Athena Polias at Priene around 334 BC — the same moment this bronze begins its run — and the city effectively owed its rebuilt civic identity to Macedonian patronage. That political debt shaped Priene's careful neutrality between the Diadochi as Alexander's empire fractured after 323 BC, a posture that allowed the city to keep minting without interruption through the succession wars that strangled neighboring mints.
