| Beschrijving voorzijde | Head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, the cheek-guards raised to reveal the goddess's profile. The helmet is rendered with careful detail, its bowl and crest visible above the brow. The portrait is executed in the competent Hellenistic style characteristic of Macedonian bronze coinage, with the facial features—eye, nose, and lips—clearly modelled despite the modest flan size. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Antigonos II Gonatas consolidated Macedonian power after decades of catastrophic instability following Alexander's death, defeating a Galatian invasion at the Battle of Lysimachia around 277 BC — a victory that gave him the political legitimacy to rule. This small copper issue belongs to the municipal and garrison economy of his mature reign, circulating at a level far below the silver coinage reserved for military pay and interstate trade. The dichalkon, worth two chalkoi, was the everyday denomination of the agora.
