| Reverse description | Athena Nikephoros seated left upon a throne, holding a long spear in her left hand and resting her right hand upon a large round shield set at her side. In the inner left field, an ivy leaf is placed above the seat, and the letter alpha (Α) appears on the throne. In the outer right field, a bow is depicted. The reverse legend ΦΙΛΕΤΑΙΡΟΥ runs along the right field, identifying the dynastic founder Philetairos. The composition is characteristic of Pergamene coinage, combining military and divine symbolism in a balanced, well-organized field. |
