| Beschrijving keerzijde | A fully open rose with stem, the civic emblem of Rhodes, depicted facing upward at center, with a budding rose to the right. A bunch of grapes appears to the left of the rose stem, serving as a secondary symbol. The magistrate's name ΑΕΤΙΩΝ (Aetion) is inscribed above, with the ethnic abbreviation P O flanking the design. The entire composition is enclosed within a shallow incuse square, a hallmark of the Rhodian plintophoric drachm series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rhodes dominated eastern Mediterranean silver coinage for over two centuries, and the drachm series of this period falls within a phase when the island-state was navigating the aftermath of the Second Macedonian War — politically aligned with Rome yet anxious to preserve commercial independence. The magistrate name Aetion appears on a small cluster of issues within Jenkins' classification, placing this coin within a tightly defined administrative moment rather than a broad anonymous emission.
Rhodian drachms of this weight standard circulated widely across Aegean trade networks and were accepted well beyond the island's political reach.
