KINGS of PARTHIA. Vonones I. 8-12 AD. Billon Tetradrachm (14.04 gm). Seleukeia mint. Dated (September 12 AD). Diademed bust left / Nike standing left, holding diadem and palm; GKT. Shore 328 var. (date); Sellwood 60.4 var. (same). VF, light scratches, overstruck but undertype not readily identifiable. ($500)

An unusual coin with a date that appears to be CKT, although this would date the coin to 14 AD, 2 years after Vonones' reign ended. It is this cataloguer's opinion that the date is merely a mis-cut GKT. Sellwood does not record this month, UPERBERETA, for this year.
