| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted head of Athena Ilias facing right, depicted in the Hellenistic style with fine portraiture. The goddess wears a Corinthian helmet pushed back on her head, adorned with an olive wreath, its crest sweeping dramatically to the left. Curling locks of hair fall loosely along the neck and behind the ear, lending an elegant, naturalistic quality to the effigy. The flan is broad and the relief is well-executed, characteristic of civic Hellenistic coinage from the Troad. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend on this side. |

Ilion — the city built atop the ruins of Troy — leveraged its mythological identity aggressively in the Hellenistic period, and this tetradrachm is a direct product of that civic strategy. The magistrate name Euboulides appears on issues catalogued by Bellinger as part of a civic coinage series that ran well into the first century BC, long after most Aegean mints had submitted to Roman monetary reorganization. Ilion's survival as an issuing authority owed something to Roman sentiment: Julius Caesar and Augustus both claimed Trojan ancestry, and the city received tangible benefactions as a result.
