Antiochos drachm?
« on: August 08, 2018, 02:44:23 pm »
Could someone help me identify this drachm? It was sold as a "cappadocian drachm" but I'm pretty sure it is a drachm of Antiochos, however I have no idea which one specific.
Diameter is 17mm and weight is 3.6g. Thank you.

When I search on the Phi monogram (visible at bottom of the coin) I get this coin:



But this is an extremely rare Antiochos, son of Seleukos IV, 175-170 BC drachm, I doubt this is my coin.

Thank you for the reply.

I also found this Seleukos IV drachm with the same monogram:



The obverse and reverse all look so similair! Very hard to identify.
