| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing inward at the centre of a large Macedonian shield, the helmeted head of the hero Perseus is depicted in right profile, wearing a winged helmet surmounted by a griffin's head. A harpa (curved sword) appears in the background field to the left. The entire composition is framed within the raised boss of the shield, whose rim is decorated with a pattern of alternating U-shaped and dot motifs characteristic of Macedonian royal coinage. The die-work is executed in a bold Hellenistic style consistent with the Pella mint under Philip V. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip V struck these tetradrachms at Pella during one of the most consequential stretches of his reign — the years immediately following his treaty with Hannibal and the inconclusive First Macedonian War, as he maneuvered to exploit Roman exhaustion while simultaneously eyeing Ptolemaic possessions in the Aegean. The timing is precise: production ends around 200 BC, the year Rome declared the Second Macedonian War after Philip's aggression in Greece and Asia Minor finally exhausted Roman patience.
The Pella mint attribution is well-established across the major reference corpora, with SNG Alpha Bank and HGC 3.1 in agreement on classification.
