<p>[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 3305104, member: 96635"]That is a very interesting bronze coin, I have never seen one before, I think this coin is minted alongside the tetradrachms in the name of Seleukos.

I realized after that this is also a quite scarce mint, I will post that coin when I receive it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen that coin before as well, a cool looking coin. I wonder what the difference in value is between this coin type and my elephant coin type. These 2 coins types were atleast minted side by side during the fifth Syrian war.
