| Beschrijving keerzijde | Apollo standing left, nude, holding an arrow in his extended right hand and examining its tip, while his left arm rests upon a grounded bow at his side. The figure is rendered in the classical Hellenistic manner characteristic of Seleucid royal bronze coinage, with the royal Greek legend appearing in the field around the deity. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Antiochos III spent much of his reign attempting to reassert Seleucid control over territories lost under his predecessors — campaigns that took him as far east as Bactria and India before his eventual defeat by Rome at Magnesia in 190 BC. Small bronzes like this chalkon circulated across an empire in near-constant military motion, passing through garrison towns, field markets, and the hands of mercenary soldiers whose loyalty was purchased in coin.
