  1. I picked this up on a whim . I am unsure of exactly what it is. 'i know, I know...'
    Anyhow trying to move away from one field of collecting into ancients. Any help is greatly appreciated

    Defintely Seleucid. And it seems to me to have been an issue of Antiochus VIII with his portrait.

    BTW: Including the diameter and weight is always hugely helpful for attributing from a photo. I'm guessing it is between 18-20 mm.

    This link should take you to MANY similar examples:

  4. I was looking at another Antiochos VIII I was reading about. Interesting coin. I love it. Wish it had been in better shape.
