Not Greek provincial.
The image is small, but I think I see the name ANTIOXOY on it.

My books are temporarily in storage, so I can't pin it down any further. Hopefully, this will give you a lead in Seleucid references.

NICE COIN!

Beautiful example Burak ! I have a rather poor one, and have been on the lookout for a nicer one, but they usually surpass my budget.  :tongue:

Congrats on a great coin!
