| Beschrijving voorzijde | Nike, winged and draped, stands left upon the prow of a warship (galley), her right hand raised to her lips as she sounds a long trumpet (salpinx), while her left arm cradles a stylis (stern ornament). The figure is rendered in vigorous Hellenistic style, conveying triumphant motion, with the ship's prow occupying the lower portion of the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Demetrius I Poliorcetes seized Macedonia in 294 BC after murdering Alexander V, one of two sons of Cassander he systematically eliminated to consolidate control. His reign lasted barely five years before his own generals abandoned him to Seleucus, who imprisoned him in Syria until his death in 283 BC. The Pella mint operated under his direct authority during this window, and issues from this short reign are correspondingly scarce.
Newell's classification of this type places it firmly within the Macedonian royal series rather than the earlier league or allied issues. The die work from Pella under Demetrius is notably crisp compared to his Amphipolis output.
