obv. Head of Athena right, wearing crested helmet, EΠI ΠEPΓAMEHNΩ (N) below
rev. Nikè standing right, holding palm and crowning legend ΠEPΓAMHNΩN in front
This coin shows us ΠEPΓAMEHNΩN on the obverse, instead of the usual ΠEPΓAMOY.
Very rare variety.
This coin type in which Nikè, goddess of victory, crowns the city name, can be seen as an allusion to a victory. It is most likely that the type is related to the Battle of Magnesia in December 190 BC. or January 189 BC. It was fought as part of the Roman–Seleucid War, pitting forces of the Roman Republic led by the consul Lucius Cornelius Scipio Asiaticus and the allied Kingdom of Pergamon under Eumenes II against a Seleucid army of Antiochus III the Great. The two armies initially camped north-east of Magnesia ad Sipylum in Asia Minor (modern-day Manisa, Turkey), attempting to provoke each other into a battle on favorable terrain for several days.
When the battle finally began, Eumenes managed to throw the Seleucid left flank into disarray. While Antiochus′cavalry overpowered his adversaries on the right flank of the battlefield, his army′s center collapsed before he could reinforce it. Modern estimates give 10,000 dead for the Seleucids and 5,000 killed for the Romans. The battle resulted in a decisive Roman-Pergamene victory, which led to the Treaty of Apamea, which ended Seleucid domination in Asia Minor.
