| Beschrijving keerzijde | Prow of a warship (trireme) advancing to the right, depicted in profile with ram and oarbox details, a type emblematic of the naval power of Demetrius Poliorcetes. In the left field, an aplustre (stern ornament) is placed; in the right field, a double axe (labrys) serves as a control symbol. A monogram appears in the exergue below the prow. The abbreviated royal legend BA flanks the type, affirming the royal status of the issuer. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Demetrius I seized Macedonia in 294 BC by murdering Alexander V, son of Cassander, and briefly united it with his Aegean holdings into a genuinely formidable Antigonid power base. The reign collapsed just six years later when Pyrrhus of Epirus and Lysimachus invaded simultaneously, and his own troops defected en masse — leaving him to surrender to Seleucus I, in whose custody he drank himself to death in 283 BC.
Bronze issues of this reign are understudied relative to the silver, and the Newell sequence remains the primary organizational framework, largely unchanged since his 1927 monograph.
