From 270 BC, Antigonos Gonatas issued a new type of silver tetradrachms. The obverse depicts the head of the god Pan with a 'pedum' at his shoulder placed as the central emblem on a Macedonian shield, a reference to the help of the god when he caused a panic terror among the Gauls during Antigonos battle with them near Lysimachia in 277 BC.
