| Reverse description | Apollo seated left upon the sacred omphalos, his nude figure rendered in a relaxed pose. In his extended right hand he holds an arrow, while his left arm rests upon a grounded bow beside him. The royal legend BAΣIΛEΩΣ ANTIOXOY is disposed in two lines flanking the deity, with control monograms appearing in the outer left and right fields, varying by issue. In the exergue, beneath a ground line, a horse grazes to the left — a secondary type specific to this mint at Alexandria Troas. The composition follows the standard Seleucid Apollo-on-omphalos reverse type introduced under Antiochos I. |
