Seleukeia on the Hedyphon mint. Uncertain SE date.

R: Diademed head left; [date in exergue].

Ref: van't Haaff Type 9.1.2-6A; Alram 464; Sunrise 483.

Notes: Toned, porosity. Near VF. Regarding the van't Haaff attribution, I believe it is certainly Type 9.1.2, I am not so sure it is 6A because the beard is not as long on my coin. Plus, the mintmark is off flan or obscured. For now, I am going with CNG's attribution for lack of a better one from my perusal of van't Haaff.
