| Beschrijving keerzijde | Owl of Athena standing right atop a panathenaic amphora, head facing forward in the characteristic New Style composition. In the right field, a winged Tyche stands left, holding an uncertain object over the amphora and cradling a cornucopia in her left arm, serving as a magistrate's symbol. The letter I appears on the amphora, with ΣΟ inscribed below. Magistrates' names — partially preserved as Herakleides, Eukles, and Dioge[nes] — are disposed in the fields. The entire type is encircled by an olive wreath, the hallmark of Athenian New Style silver coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This tetradrachm belongs to Athens' late "New Style" coinage, a series launched around 166 BC after Rome restored Athenian control of Delos, giving the city access to substantial commercial traffic and the silver revenues that came with it. The magistrate names partially preserved in the title — Herakleides, Eukles, and Dioge[nes or similar] — correspond to the annual officials responsible for a specific issue, a dating mechanism that allows Thompson's exhaustive 1961 corpus to pin these pieces to a single administrative year with unusual precision.
Thompson 757b places this among a tightly defined die group. The truncated third name is a recurring feature of wear and flan edge placement rather than an anomaly of production.
