<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3154250, member: 56859"]Head right; wearing wreath or with fancy hair; something over shoulder. I suspect Artemis. Dotted border. Very off center to the lower right side. A quick search didn't turn up any Seleukid serrates with Artemis/Apollo. Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe it's rare, or maybe it's an aberration. Reverse has a clear Delta so start digging through old reference books to see if one of the three Seleukid kings named Demetrios issued this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>A crude attempt at outlining what I described:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]808668[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
