| Beschrijving keerzijde | Athena Alkis advancing to the left in a dynamic martial pose, clad in a short chiton and aegis, her right arm raised and brandishing a thunderbolt, her left arm extended forward with a round shield. A Macedonian helmet appears in the left field and the monogram ΤΙ in the right field. The encircling legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΝΤΙΓΟΝΟΥ identifies the issuing king, the whole composition rendered in characteristic Macedonian royal iconography celebrating the dynasty's divine patronage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Antigonos II Gonatas secured Macedonia only after decades of chaos — the kingdom had been sacked by Gauls, fought over by Diadochi successors, and effectively ungoverned for stretches of the early third century. His consolidation of Amphipolis as a mint city reflects a deliberate administrative reassertion of Macedonian control over a strategically vital river crossing on the Strymon, a site Athens had fought wars to control two centuries earlier.
The SNG Copenhagen and Munich references place this firmly within a well-documented but modestly studied series. Amphipolis continued striking under successive Macedonian kings until Roman annexation in 168 BC.
