| Aversbeschreibung | Nike, winged and advancing, stands in three-quarter view atop the prow of a warship (aphlaston visible to left), her body turned left as she raises a long trumpet to her lips with her right hand; the vessel's decorated hull and oar-box are rendered in fine relief below. The composition is set within a dotted border and conveys a dynamic sense of naval victory characteristic of Demetrius I Poliorcetes' coinage. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Poseidon Pelagaios stands in contrapposto facing left, his weight shifted onto his right leg, wearing drapery draped over his left arm; he extends his right arm forward while brandishing a trident in his left hand. The royal legend flanks the figure in two vertical lines in the field, with a control monogram placed to the right. The deity's commanding posture and association with the sea directly references Demetrius' naval supremacy and his victories at Salamis in Cyprus. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Demetrius I earned the epithet "Poliorcetes" — the Besieger — for his engineering of massive siege machines at Rhodes and Salamis, but by 293 BC his grip on Macedonia was already fracturing. These tetradrachms were struck at Pella, the Macedonian royal mint, during a narrow window when he held the kingdom before being ousted by Pyrrhus of Epirus and Lysimachus in 288 BC. Newell's classification of this issue (#70) places it firmly in the final productive phase of his Macedonian coinage.
The Pella mint output from these years is notably consistent in die work, suggesting a well-staffed operation anticipating prolonged rule that never materialized.
