Hi there.
I have what I believe to be a
Seleucid coin, possibly displaying the diademed
head of Antiochus. But which Antiochus is it? and is it a genuine coin of
antiquity or a restrike?
To the
reverse sits
Apollo with baton and
cornucopia, on a throne supported by a Neried.
I have looked at hundreds of images of
Seleucid and
bactrian coins online today, and while there are many with a similar
reverse, I can't match the
portrait, and the sitter is a younger looking ruler than any of the others I have seen.
I'd love to know more about this coin and
hope that this community can assist, as I have a few other
ancient coins that I would like to know more about.
It weighs 23 grams and is probably silver.
