Syrian Seleucid Serrate

Here's mine. My best guess is 2nd century B.C.E. but I haven't been able to attribute it. Any suggestions would be very welcome.

I suggest I give your coin a little hug. To me, it looks so sweet and in need of one.

Seriously, I loved looking at all these super ancient coins. I was wondering whether @TIF had some of these "bottle tops;" and if so, what might she have selected for inclusion in her collection?

 

Those serrations are excellent and that's one heckuva first coin!

 

Beautiful first coin!

 

Great group of coins, David! Thanks for posting them!

 

Great bottle Capps everyone!!! Inhave yet to get one.

 

I don't have any. There was one in an unimaged mixed lot but I sold it last year. There are several I'd like to have but other coins have taken priority. Someday

 

Nice coins and poster!

 

Great set

 

Those with elephants are interesting bottle caps!

 

Here are a couple of serrated Seleucid coins of Antiochus IV:

Laureate head of Apollo / Apollo seated on omphalos, &

Diademed, radiate head of Antiochus / veiled and draped standing goddess holding long scepter

 

Another nice set of Coins- good detail on the elephant in stride
