SELEUKID EMPIRE. Antiochos III 'the Great'. 222-187 BC. AR Tetradrachm (32.5mm, 16.63 g, 12h). Uncertain Mint 68 in Northern Mesopotamia. Struck circa 197-187 BC. Diademed head right (Type D) / Apollo Delphios, testing arrow and placing hand on grounded bow, seated left on omphalos; two monograms to outer left (both read from outside-in). SC 1132 var. (unlisted with these control marks); HGC 9, 447ff. Lightly toned, edge marks from prior bezel. VF. Apparently unique with these monograms.

Although this issue is unlisted, the portrait style is identical to that found on the various issues of SC 1132. Also, as here, many of the issues have two monograms to the outer left, oriented to be read from the outside-in.
