背面描述	A horse's head shown facing left at center, with a monogram enclosed within a rectangular frame to the right of the main device. The Greek civic legend ΑΙΓΕΑΙΩΝ ΤΗΣ ΙΕΡΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΑΥΤΟΝΟΜΟΥ is distributed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Aigeai as sacred and autonomous. The composition is characteristic of Cilician civic bronze coinage of the late Hellenistic period.

附加信息	Aigeai was a coastal city in Cilicia whose bronze coinage of this period reflects the town's complicated position under successive Seleucid and later Roman provincial administration. The dichalkon denomination itself — worth two chalkoi — was the workhorse of small local transactions, rarely traveling far from its city of issue, which is precisely why well-provenanced examples tied to specific sites carry more weight with researchers than the coins themselves might suggest. SNG France 2300 provides the principal reference, with the Bibliothèque nationale holding the type specimen.
