| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing male figure, likely Athena or a warrior deity, depicted in three-quarter view facing left, advancing with a spear held upright in the right hand and a shield on the left arm; the figure wears a short chiton and is rendered in a vigorous, if somewhat crude, provincial Hellenistic style. The ethnic legend ΑΙΝΙΑΝΩΝ appears to the left of the figure, and the magistrate's name ΕΥΞΕΝΟΣ runs to the right, identifying this issue to the strategos or eponymous magistrate Euxenos. The design fills the compact, irregular flan typical of late Hellenistic bronze coinage from Thessaly. A horizontal ground line is visible beneath the figure's feet. The overall execution reflects the modest engraving standards of a regional mint at Hypata. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Ainianes were a small Thessalian tribe whose coinage output was modest even by regional standards. Hypata served as their principal city, and civic bronze issues like this tetrachalkon were struck under the authority of named magistrates — here Euxenos, whose term likely spanned a single year. The practice of naming the sitting magistrate on bronze civic coinage was common in Thessaly during this period, which makes die-linking studies across magistrate series a useful tool for establishing relative chronology within the type.
