| Beschrijving keerzijde | Athena Nikephoros standing left in full figure, clad in helmet and aegis, extending her right hand to present a small Nike figure and resting her left hand upon a large round shield set at her side, with a long spear leaning behind her. The composition follows the canonical Seleucid reverse type for Antiochos IX. The Greek royal legend is disposed in two lines flanking the figure in the field. The style is consistent with the Antioch mint output of the late second and early first century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Antiochos IX came to power by killing his half-brother Antiochos VIII in 113 BC, only to spend virtually his entire reign fighting to keep the throne from Seleukos VI, the son of the man he had murdered. The dynastic civil war known as the Brothers' War — a grinding back-and-forth conflict that would eventually consume most of the remaining Seleucid ruling family — forms the political backdrop against which this bronze was struck at Antioch. Coinage continued because cities needed small change regardless of who controlled the mint.
Antiochos IX was killed in battle against Seleukos VI around 95 BC, ending a reign defined almost entirely by warfare.
