    Heres a most likely seleukid bronze from the bactrian side, its got a helmeted bust, and the standard nike holding a wreath, with our greek ANTIOXOY legend, standing for antiochus.
    But the question is, which antiochus must this be. As far as I know, there are like Antiochus I - Antiochus XII. any help.

    Even with the corrosion and cleaning scratches, that is very nice for the type.

    Thanks! These coins do tend to be pretty beat up.
