| Reversbeschreibung | The eponymous hero Aitolos seated right upon a trophy composed of a pile of Gallic shields, referencing the Aetolian defense against the Galatian invasion of 279 BC. He is depicted wearing a kausia (Macedonian-style flat hat) and a sheathed sword at his side, holding an upright spear in his right hand and cradling a small figure of Nike in his left hand, who stands facing right and presents a wreath. The ethnic legend AITΩΛΩN appears in the field, with a monogram to the right and the letters ANA inscribed in the exergue. |

The Aetolian League's gold stater issues of this period are extraordinarily rare — the League operated primarily on a silver and bronze economy, and gold coinage was struck only in exceptional circumstances, most plausibly tied to mercenary payments or major military campaigns. The 250s–240s BC placed Aetolia at the height of its territorial power, having successfully repelled a Galatian invasion in 279 BC and leveraged that prestige into dominance over the Delphic Amphictyony.
The BCD Akarnanaia 426 reference situates this piece within the collection assembled by the late banker and scholar known as "BCD," whose Aetolian and Akarnanian holdings remain the definitive benchmark for this regional coinage.
