| Reverse description | A kithara (lyre) depicted centrally in the field, presented frontally with clearly articulated strings and crossbar, serving as the principal type associated with Apollo. The Greek royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ is disposed around the central type, identifying the issuing authority as King Antiochos II Theos. The design is characteristic of the Sardes mint production under Antiochos II, with the kithara functioning both as a religious emblem of Apollo and a dynastic symbol of Seleucid authority. |
