SYRIA. Seleukid Kingdom. Seleukos I Nikator, 312-281 B.C. Fourree Drachm (3.51 gms), Imitating Susa Mint, ca. 305/4-295 B.C., or slightly thereafter. VERY FINE.
cf. HGC-9, 34 (for prototype); cf. SC-174 (for prototype). Obverse: Head of hero (Alexander or Seleukos?) right, wearing helmet covered with panther skin and adorned with the ear and horns of a bull; Reverse: Nike standing right, holding wreath that she places on trophy to right; uncertain pseudo-controls to lower left and right. A fairly convincing and well detailed ancient imitation, with a few spots of the outer layer having chipped off.
Estimate: $75 - $150
