<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1845366, member: 42773&quot;]Here&#039;s a proto-Nabataean of Athena/Nike typology overstruck on a Seleucid issue of some Antiochus. I believe the undertype is of Antiochus IV. Antiochus and Athena combine to form an unintentional Jugate portrait, and on the reverse, the inscription TIOXOY is quite clear. It looks like the lettering of the host coin came through unscathed on account of a chip in the overstriking die.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the only known example of a Nabataean coin struck over a Seleucid coin, and a glorious mess of a coin it is...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://postimage.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://postimage.org/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://s11.postimg.org/4jxue0jnn/Ptoto_Nab_Seleucid.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
