| Beschrijving keerzijde | An eagle displayed with spread wings, standing to the right upon a horizontal thunderbolt, rendered in the bold style characteristic of late Hellenistic civic coinage. A wreath of olive branches frames the design around the upper periphery of the field, with a small star or astral symbol visible above. The Greek legend ABYΔHNΩN is inscribed to the left and right of the eagle in the field, while the magistrate's name ΑΠΟΛΛΟΦΑΝΟΥ appears in the lower exergual area, identifying the issuing authority. The entire composition is enclosed within a dotted border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Abydos, the strategically vital Hellespontine city controlling the narrowest crossing between Europe and Asia, issued civic coinage under magistrate names during the final century of its independence before Roman provincial reorganization absorbed the region. Apollophanes served as the eponymous magistrate responsible for this emission — a practice common among cities of the Troad and Propontis where individual officials underwrote or authorized specific coin runs. The dating places this squarely in the period of Mithridatic pressure on the region, when Pontic ambitions repeatedly disrupted local civic institutions along the Hellespont.
