Contremarque au droit. Ce type est aussi parfois attribué à Cassandre, mais avec le petit monogramme sous le cheval, il s’agit bien d’Antigone Gonatas.
Countermark on the obverse. This type is also sometimes attributed to Cassander, but with the small monogram under the horse, it is indeed Antigone Gonatas
