Commentary
Même coin de droit que les exemplaires des musées de Berlin et de Bucarest. La combinaison HPA/XAPI semble beaucoup plus rare que celle XAPI/HPA, deux exemplaires contre vingt-neuf. Avec la marque distinctive, ce type ne semblait pas répertorié.
Same obverse die as the examples in the Berlin and Bucharest museums. The HPA/XAPI combination seems much rarer than the XAPI/HPA combination, with two examples compared to twenty-nine. With the distinctive mark, this type did not appear to be listed.

Historical background
ATTICA - ATHENS
(3rd - 1st century BC)
Athens after the death of Alexander the Great tried to regain its independence. The Athenians were defeated at Crannon in 322 BC. Demosthenes committed suicide so as not to be delivered to Antipater. After this date, Athens only survived thanks to its past prestige. Cassander captured Athens in 317 BC and established an oligarchic regime. She followed the fate of Macedonia until the defeat of Perseus in 168 BC. During the war against Mithridates, Sulla besieged the city which surrendered in 86 BC..
