| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Artemis facing, depicted in a long chiton with arms slightly extended, likely holding a bow or torch in the Hellenistic tradition. The figure is rendered in a stiff, frontal stance characteristic of Illyrian provincial workshops. The reverse legend BAΛΛAIOY, reading 'of Ballaeus', is placed in the field, identifying the issuing king. The flan surface shows typical bronze patina and die wear consistent with circulation use. The overall composition reflects the Hellenistic iconographic tradition adapted to a local Illyrian minting context. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ballaeus ruled a kingdom whose borders and even precise chronology remain contested — the 260–230 BC date range is a scholarly approximation, not a documented reign. His bronze issues are among the few material traces confirming his existence at all. The BMC Greek attribution has held largely by default, given how little epigraphic or literary evidence survives to challenge it.
