Notes: Dec 8, 15 - The reverse legend of this crude little silver points to any one of the Antiochos', kings of the Seleukid Kingdom. Yet, to date, I can not find an example of such coin with a similar Obv. Bust (which I am assuming to be bust of Apollo or Artemis).

Notes: Dec 2, 15 - This particular coin was moderately difficult to identify, but nearly impossible to figure out the correct reverse legend. After comparing 6 decent examples of the type as well as full legends known to be in use in Hieropolis at the time I came up with the given legend, which is very close to that listed in Lindgren I 1508 with the exception of (PROS) instead of (RROS) and completion of the last word in the legend (SULOU).
Update: This coin is a die match to coin listed here From the D. Alighieri Collection. (minus counterstamp in listed coin): https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=149686
