| Reverse description | Apollo seated left upon the omphalos, his right hand raised to test or inspect an arrow, while his left arm rests upon a grounded bow beside him. The composition follows the canonical Seleucid reverse type established under Seleucus I and continued by his successors. In the outer left field, a round shield inscribed with the letters POI serves as a mint or magistrate control mark identifying the issue to the mint at Ilium. The Greek legend BAΣΙΛΕΩΣ – ANTIOXOY is disposed in two lines flanking the central type, identifying the issuing authority as King Antiochus. |
