SELEUKID KINGS of SYRIA. Seleukos I Nikator. 312-281 BC. AR Hemidrachm (13mm, 1.51 g, 6h). Uncertain mint 19. Laureate head of Zeus right / Athena in chariot drawn by two horned elephants; monogram above. Cf. SC 263; SNG Spaer -. Near VF, toned, porous.


The reverse of this coin is indistinct making proper identification impossible. That being said, this composition with a monogram in a circle, no anchor and two line legend in the exergue appears to be an unpublished variety of SC 263. It is also overstruck on a hemidrachm of the helmeted head / Nike crowning trophy type (cf. SC 175).
