| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed head of Antiochos Hierax facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition with finely detailed wavy hair swept back beneath a broad royal diadem, the ends of which fall behind the neck. The facial features are youthful and idealized, reflecting the influence of Lysippan portraiture. A dotted border encircles the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Antiochos Hierax — "the Hawk" — struck coins at Abydus while fighting his own brother, Seleukos II, in a civil war that fractured the empire across Asia Minor through much of the 240s and 230s BC. His coinage from this mint reflects his control of strategic Hellespont-region cities, which he leveraged partly through alliance with Galatian mercenaries, a dependency that ultimately proved ruinous. He died in 226 or 227 BC fleeing those same Galatians after his political position collapsed entirely.
