| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Artemis facing right, wearing a stephane or turreted crown, with flowing hair rendered in fine parallel strands. The portrait is set within a plain circular border and displays the characteristic Hellenistic civic style of Apameia in Phrygia. The goddess is identifiable by her attributes and the careful modelling of the facial features, including a straight nose, almond-shaped eye, and slightly parted lips. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing male figure, identified as Zeus or a local deity, depicted in dynamic pose facing left, right arm raised and wielding a thunderbolt, left arm extended forward. The figure stands on a ground line and is rendered in the vigorous Hellenistic style typical of Phrygian civic bronzes. Greek legends flank the central figure on both sides of the field, identifying the city and the magistrate responsible for the issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Apameia on the Orontes was one of the Seleucid empire's four Syrian capitals — the so-called Tetrapolis — and functioned as the kingdom's primary military depot and elephant station. After Rome assigned the region to Pergamon following the defeat of Antiochus III, and then again after Attalus III bequeathed Pergamon to Rome in 133 BC, civic bronze issues like this chalkon filled the gap left by retreating royal coinage. The city retained enough autonomy to strike its own small bronzes well into the late Republican period.
The HGC 7#674var designation signals a die or type deviation from the principal catalogued specimen — the exact nature unspecified, likely a magistrate name or control mark variant.
