| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in high relief in the Hellenistic tradition. The goddess wears a crested Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, with the bowl covering the crown and the cheekpieces raised, revealing her facial features in fine detail. Flowing locks of hair emerge from beneath the helmet and cascade along the neck. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices. The style closely follows the Alexandrine coinage tradition associated with the mint of Side. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amyntas was appointed king of Galatia by Mark Antony around 36 BC, rewarded for switching sides at a critical moment. He subsequently expanded his territory aggressively through Pisidia, Lycaonia, and into parts of Pamphylia, making his kingdom one of the larger client states in Anatolia. His reign ended abruptly in 25 BC when he was ambushed and killed campaigning against the Homonadeis — a mountain people who had lured him into a trap. Augustus then dissolved the kingdom entirely and converted it into the Roman province of Galatia, making this issue the sole tetradrachm series of a dynasty that lasted barely a decade.
