KINGS of PERGAMON. Eumenes II. 197-159 BC. AR Tetradrachm (31mm, 16.81 g, 12h). Laureate head of Philetairos right / Athena enthroned left, holding wreath, elbow resting on shield; statue of Athena Promachos (or stylis with dolphin?) to outer left, MA monogram to inner left, bow to right. Westermark -; SNG France -. Good VF, a few surface marks. A seemingly rare monogram.

Stylistically this falls late in the series, with the closest portrait and throne parallels belonging to Westermark’s group VII.
