<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 5969164, member: 80952&quot;]Hello ladies and gentlemen,</p><p>That moment when I participate in the first auction of 2021 came.</p><p>I wanted to expand my collection a little so I bought a few Seleukid coins. Main reason being I wanted an elephant, not as a pet, but in my album.</p><p>Bought this</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1243954[/ATTACH]</p><p>described as&nbsp; Seleukid Kingdom. Sardeis. Antiochos III Megas 223-187 BC.&nbsp; Bronze Æ 12 mm., 1,96 g.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would need your help, please, for a more detailed attribution.</p><p>I don&#039;t know what is the sign above the elephant, looking like a reversed M, but I found the same symbol here, in the 2nd example in this article (but it appears turned upside down)</p><p><a href="https://journals.openedition.org/syria/669" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://journals.openedition.org/syria/669" rel="nofollow">https://journals.openedition.org/syria/669</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1243955[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>From my (poor) skills in recognizing characters, I would say the obverse (on my coin, the second picture is from the article and it is Athena) represents Apollo.</p><p>I cannot find a match in wildwinds or acsearch, any help is greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
