| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and radiate head of Antiochus VI Dionysos facing right, with flowing curly hair rendered in fine detail; the diadem ties fall behind the neck. The youthful royal portrait is executed in the Hellenistic tradition, with a characteristically idealized physiognomy. A dotted border frames the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Antiochus VI was installed as a puppet king around age three by the general Diodotus Tryphon, who had seized on the boy's royal blood to legitimize his own bid for power. Tryphon would eventually have him killed — probably in 138 BC — and declare himself king outright, making this brief reign one of the more cynically engineered episodes in Seleucid dynastic history. The Dionysos epithet was almost certainly Tryphon's propaganda, not the child's.
