Antiochos V Eupator: Silver Tetradrachm of Antioch on the Orontes

Struck during the turbulent regency of Lysias between 164 and 162 BCE, this silver tetradrachm of Antiochos V Eupator pairs a youthful royal portrait with the dynastic reverse type of enthroned Zeus Nikephoros holding a wreath-bearing Nike.
