    Picked this one up for a bargain price. Dealer had it attributed to Seleucia-Piera but without much else to go on. I think it's Apollo on the obverse and Zeus Nikephoros on the reverse. This is such a common combination of devices that an acsearchinfo search is next to useless. I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

    Thanks in advance!

    I have an example with Demeter on the Obverse.
    Smaller and lighter than the Apollo types, I must admit that I don't understand why.
