| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, rendered in fine Hellenistic style. The goddess wears a crested Attic helmet adorned with a prominent eight-pointed star on the bowl, a characteristic civic badge of Pergamon. Her hair falls in a braided plait behind the neck, and the cheekpiece of the helmet frames her idealized facial features. The portrait is boldly modelled in high relief against a smooth field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | An owl, the sacred bird of Athena, stands facing with wings spread and head turned slightly, perched upon a palm frond. The frond is rendered with stylized curved branches beneath the bird. The ethnic legend ΑΘΗΝΑΣ appears in the upper field, and ΝΙΚΗΦΟΡΟΥ is inscribed in the lower field, identifying the deity as Athena Nikephoros, the victory-bearing patroness of Pergamon. The design closely mirrors the Athenian owl type but is distinctly Pergamene in its epigraphic and iconographic details. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pergamon's bronze coinage of this period reflects the city's awkward transition following the death of Attalos III in 133 BC, who famously bequeathed his kingdom to Rome. Municipal bronze issues continued to circulate locally long after the Attalid dynasty ended, filling the gap left by the sudden collapse of royal mint authority. The city's bronze production during this window was substantial enough that survivors are plentiful, though coins struck closer to the dynastic end tend to show cruder workmanship as civic administration absorbed functions previously handled by a professional royal mint.
