| Beschrijving keerzijde | An ornate Macedonian crested helmet depicted facing left, featuring a prominent spike at the apex and a wild goat's horn projecting forward over the visor, a distinctive emblem associated with Tryphon's royal iconography. The cheek-guards are rendered in detail. The royal legend is disposed in two lines to the right of the helmet, reading ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΤΡΥΦΩΝΟΣ ΑΥΤΟΚΡΑΤΟΡΟΣ, translating as 'of King Tryphon, Autocrator.' A monogram appears to the left of the helmet in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tryphon — born Diodotus, a former general under Alexander Balas — seized the Seleucid throne as a usurper after engineering the murder of the young king Antiochus VI, the child ruler he had nominally served as regent. His coinage from Antioch represents one of the shortest and most politically illegitimate reigns in the dynasty's history, minted during a period when the empire was simultaneously under pressure from a Parthian advance in the east and a Maccabean revolt consolidating power in Judaea.
He was eventually cornered and killed around 138 BC, likely at Apamea, by Antiochus VII Sidetes.
