SELEUKID EMPIRE. Seleukos III Soter (Keraunos). 225/4-222 BC. AR Tetradrachm (28mm, 17.12 g, 12h). Uncertain mint, probably associated with Antioch. Diademed head right / Apollo, testing arrow and placing hand on grounded bow, seated left on omphalos; monograms to outer right and outer left. SC –; cf. HGC 9, 414 (for type). Lightly toned, minor marks. VF. Extremely rare, unpublished issue, none in CoinArchives.

From the MNL Collection, purchased from Harlan J. Berk, Ltd. (inv. no. cc81894).

While this issue is unpublished, the style of the portrait is very similar to that found on issues of Antioch on the Orontes, and quite different from that at other mints. None of the possible monograms found here are used on any published issues of Seleukos III.
