| Reverse description | Coiled serpent displayed in profile, a prominent cult symbol associated with the Pergamene dynastic coinage referencing Philetairos, founder of the Attalid dynasty. The dynastic inscription ΦΙΛΕΤΑΙΡΟΥ appears in the field, partially legible, identifying the coin's dynastic attribution. The serpent motif is rendered with characteristic Hellenistic naturalism. The flan is irregular and the strike slightly off-center, typical of hammered bronze issues of this period. |
