| Beschrijving keerzijde | Eagle standing to the right with wings closed, depicted in a compact and stylised Hellenistic manner. The bird clasps a wreath in its talons, a device emblematic of royal Seleucid iconography. The Greek legend BAΣIΛEΩΣ AXAIOY is disposed in two vertical columns flanking the eagle, reading 'of King Achaios' and affirming the authority of the usurper Achaios over Asia Minor. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Achaios was a Seleucid prince who governed Asia Minor as a loyal subordinate before declaring himself king around 220 BC — a usurpation that forced Antiochos III to conduct a prolonged and costly reconquest of Anatolia before Achaios was finally captured at Sardis in 213 BC, reportedly betrayed by his own Galatian mercenaries. Bronzes struck in his name are scarce precisely because his independent rule was geographically confined and brutally short. Antiochos had him executed by a method the sources describe as dismemberment, his body stuffed into an animal skin.
