| Beschrijving keerzijde | A rose shown in profile, the principal civic emblem of Rhodes, with a budding secondary bloom on a stem to the left. The magistrate's name ANTAIOΣ appears in the upper field, while the ethnic abbreviation P-O (for ΡΟΔΙΩΝ, 'of the Rhodians') flanks the central device. A kerykeion (caduceus) is placed in the lower right field as a secondary symbol. The entire composition is set within a shallow incuse square, a hallmark of the Rhodian plintophoric coinage series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rhodes struck these fractional gold pieces during a period when the island's commercial dominance in the eastern Mediterranean was already in steep decline, undercut by Rome's deliberate elevation of Delos as a free port in 166 BC — a direct punishment for Rhodian neutrality during the Third Macedonian War. By the time this issue was being produced, transit revenues had collapsed and the Rhodian navy, once the most effective anti-piracy force in the Aegean, was a shadow of its former self.
The Jenkins classification for this type derives from his 1989 die study, which remains the definitive reference for Rhodian gold fractions of the late Hellenistic period.
