| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Athena Parthenos facing right, wearing a triple-crested Attic helmet adorned with floral and scroll motifs and a central palmette above the visor; the hair falls in long wavy locks over the neck and shoulder. The face is rendered in the refined Hellenistic style characteristic of late New Style Athenian coinage, with delicate features and a serene expression. The helmet bowl is elaborately decorated with a griffin or raptor motif on the crest support. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This tetradrachm belongs to the New Style series launched by Athens around 196 BC, a reformed coinage designed to compete in the eastern Mediterranean trade networks then dominated by the flood of Attalid and other royal issues. The magistrate names partially preserved — Herakleides, Eukles, and Askle[---] — place this piece within a dated sequence that numismatists have painstakingly reconstructed through die studies, most systematically by Margaret Thompson in her 1961 corpus. Thompson 750a corresponds to a tightly defined emission within the 106/105 BC archon year.
New Style tetradrachms were produced in large quantities for commercial use, yet individual magistrate pairings can be rare. Die linkage work on this specific group remains ongoing.
