From the Thomas Kirby Collection, USA.
Struck at Seleukeia in Pieria which had been given autonomy by his father, Antiochos VIII, this interesting bronze coin advertised an unusual set of epithets for the king: Philometor Euergetes Kallinikos. These first and last of these had belonged to his father, while Euergetes recall Antiochos VIII's benefactions to the city.
