<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David@PCC, post: 3199110, member: 80556&quot;]Interesting coin with lots of history. I&#039;m looking for one of these myself. Anchors on Seleucid coins are found with flukes up and down, not sure which is more prevalent? A similar coin also with a countermark.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]827489[/ATTACH]</p><p>Antiochus I</p><p>Mint: Antioch</p><p>AE 14</p><p>281 to 261 BC</p><p>Obvs: Macedonian shield with Seleukid anchor in central boss.</p><p>Revs: BAΣIΛEΩΣ ANTIOXOY, Horned elephant walking right.
