| Beschrijving keerzijde | Apollo Kitharodeos depicted standing to the right, shown in full figure and draped in a long chiton, in the guise of a citharode or concert musician. He holds a plektron in his lowered right hand and cradles a large kithara in his left arm, attributes emblematic of his role as god of music and the arts. The royal legend BAΣIΛEΩΣ MOΛΩNOΣ (of King Molon) runs in the field, asserting the authority of the rebel satrap Molon. A control monogram appears to the outer right of the figure, with additional monograms recorded in the left field depending on the die variant. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Molon was satrap of Media who revolted against Antiochus III in 222 BC, briefly seizing control of the eastern satrapies and even occupying Seleucia-on-the-Tigris before Antiochus personally led the campaign that crushed him. These bronzes were struck during that narrow window of Molon's autonomous control — coins issued by a man who very nearly fractured the Seleucid east permanently. When his forces collapsed in 220 BC, Molon killed himself rather than face capture. The issue's tight date range of roughly two years makes it one of the more historically compressed bronzes in the entire Seleucid series.
