| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a backless throne, his upper body nude, his lower body draped; his outstretched right hand holds an eagle with closed wings, while his left hand rests on a tall sceptre. In the left field, Nike flies right holding a wreath to crown the king's name. A monogram appears below the throne seat, and the letter Σ (sigma) is placed in the exergue, serving as a mint control mark. The composition follows the standard Alexandrine reverse type established at the Tarsos mint during the reign of Philip III Arrhidaeus. |
