| 正面描述 | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered with rich, flowing locks of hair and a full beard depicted in vigorous, deeply struck curls. The portrait displays a strong, mature profile with prominent brow and aquiline nose, consistent with the Hellenistic iconographic tradition of the supreme deity. The laurel wreath crowning the head is partially visible, integrated into the voluminous coiffure. The flan is irregular in shape, with the effigy occupying most of the available field. Traces of a surrounding legend are visible along the upper rim, though largely off-flan or weakly struck. |

| 背面描述 | An eagle with wings fully spread stands to the left upon a thunderbolt, its head turned back sharply to the right in a heraldic pose characteristic of Hellenistic royal coinage. The thunderbolt, symbol of Zeus, is depicted horizontally beneath the bird's talons. A monogram appears in the left field, serving as a mint or magistrate control mark. The composition is bold and well-centred within the flan, rendered in the vigorous engraving style typical of late Hellenistic Anatolian bronzes. The reverse iconography alludes to the divine authority of Deiotarus, tetrarch and later king of Galatia. |

Deiotarus was the most powerful of the Galatian tetrarchs, elevated to the rank of king by Pompey following the Third Mithridatic War — a reward for his consistent military support against Mithridates VI of Pontus. His kingdom was a Roman client state in all but name, and his bronze issues reflect that ambiguous status: local enough to assert authority, restrained enough not to provoke.
He later survived a treason trial in Rome, defended by Cicero in 45 BC in the speech Pro Rege Deiotaro, having been accused by his own grandson of plotting to assassinate Caesar.
