| Reverse description | A club depicted horizontally across the central field, with a quiver positioned below it; the ethnic legend ΑΙΓΕΑΙΩΝ is distributed around the design in three lines, partially framing the reverse field. The devices are rendered in low relief typical of civic bronze coinage of the Hellenistic period. |

| Additional information |
Aigeai (modern Yumurtalık on the Turkish coast) was a minor Cilician city whose bronze coinage spans the transition from Seleucid dominance to Roman provincial reorganization — a period in which local civic mints were frequently suspended, revived, or absorbed depending on which regional power needed them compliant. The SNG France references place this piece within a well-documented but chronologically loose sequence; pinning individual strikes within that 137-year window remains genuinely difficult without hoard provenance.
