| Beschrijving keerzijde | A fully open rose with petals spread, accompanied by a single bud to the left, all set within a recessed square incuse punch. The ethnic legend ΡΟΔΙΟΝ is inscribed above the rose in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Rhodes. The letter Α appears between the bud and the rose, likely serving as a magistrate's initial or control mark. A profile eye is depicted in the right field of the incuse square, a recurring apotropaic symbol on Rhodian coinage of this series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rhodes operated as an independent issuing authority following the synoikism of 408 BC, when the three older city-states of Ialysos, Kamiros, and Lindos merged to found a single polis. The tetradrachm series of the early fourth century falls within a period of Rhodian commercial dominance across the eastern Aegean, where the island's merchant fleet made its coinage a trusted medium well beyond local exchange. The Hecatomnus reference places this piece within a tightly defined die study, suggesting the type circulated into Carian trade networks under the Hecatomnid dynasty's sphere of influence.
