| Beschrijving keerzijde | Poseidon Pelagaios seated left upon a rocky outcrop, his muscular nude figure depicted in the Hellenistic style. He holds an aplustre (stern ornament of a ship) in his outstretched right hand and a trident — his divine attribute — in his left. A monogram appears on the rock beside him and a second monogram is placed in the outer right field. The legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΥ, meaning 'of King Demetrius,' runs along the perimeter, identifying the royal issuer. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Demetrius I earned his epithet "Poliorcetes" — the Besieger — from his siege operations, most famously the nine-month assault on Rhodes beginning in 305 BC, during which he deployed unprecedented torsion artillery and mobile siege towers. By 294 BC he had seized the Macedonian throne itself, though his reign there lasted barely six years before his own troops defected to Pyrrhus of Epirus and Lysimachus. These Pella issues from 292–291 BC fall squarely within that increasingly desperate final phase.
The Newell 76 classification places this among the later Pella sequence, distinguished by specific magistrate control marks that Newell painstakingly catalogued in his 1927 corpus.
