<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carl Wilmont, post: 4576956, member: 75496&quot;]Nice coins!&nbsp; Here&#039;s a silver and two bronzes of Demetrios I Soter, who was depicted on the OP coin featured in [USER=111037]@Only a Poor Old Man[/USER]&#039;s interesting write-up.&nbsp;&nbsp; The last one is another example of [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER]&#039;s horse/elephant bottle cap that used to be available on that special &quot;Seleucid Series&quot; run of Yoo-hoo he remembered.&nbsp;&nbsp; That&#039;s how I got the middle one with Artemis as well - it was a great way, while it lasted, to <i>save</i> money when acquiring these coin types! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/seleukid-demetrios-i-soter-jpg.1129575/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Demetrios I Soter.
