Seleukid coin for ID
« on: April 30, 2018, 12:01:28 am »
Hi all,
I have this Seleukid coin for ID. I know it's one of the Antiochoss (I, II, III, IV... etc.)... I'm just not sure which one.

I think the problem that I'm running into is that a lot of the similar coins online are misattributed.... or maybe this same type was issued across a couple generations of dynastic rulers.

Either way... I don't have much experience with these and was hoping I may get some assistance. Thank you!

It seems to be this one minted under Antiochos I (with the same monograms): https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4776321
and the attributions of CNG are usually quite good.

HGC 9, 169 is correct, but Hoover does not make distinctions between monograms.

The coin is also listed in Arthur Houghton, "Coins of the Seleucid Empire" as number 29: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?num=2&u=1&seq=7&view=image&size=100&id=mdp.39015013527562
and in Edward T. Newell, "The Coinage of the Western Seleucid Mints" as number 960: https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.283099/2015.283099.The-Coinage#page/n111/mode/2up
