| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse prancing or stepping to the right, rendered in a lively Hellenistic style with fine muscular detail. The animal is depicted in profile with its foreleg raised, conveying motion and vitality. A Greek bilingual legend frames the design, divided into two lines in the field above or around the horse. The exergue and surrounding field are plain, with the overall composition characteristic of the square-flan bronze coinage of Baktrian kings. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pantaleon is one of only two Baktrian kings — the other being Agathokles — known to have struck coins in nickel, a feat that would not be replicated anywhere in the Western world until the 19th century. The alloy used was not refined nickel but a naturally occurring copper-nickel ore, likely sourced from mines in the region around modern Afghanistan. Whether this was a deliberate metallurgical choice or an artifact of available ore deposits remains debated.
His reign is poorly documented in literary sources, and much of what is known about Pantaleon comes from the coins themselves.
