A sharply struck example with two splendid portraits. Traces of overstriking on the obverse, otherwise, extremely fine.

This coin is a so-called flip-over double strike, meaning that the flan was not removed between two strikes but flipped over, which resulted in traces of the reverse legend (ΠΑΤΡ) being visible on Antiochos' chin
