<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24829093, member: 26430&quot;]I&#039;m sure it&#039;s fair to call it rare (it&#039;s absent from most collections &amp; minor references), but my hunch is that if 3 have appeared at auction in the past 4 years, there may be more than 10 total out there to find if you really looked.</p><p><br /></p><p>To quantify rarity, you&#039;d want to check how Houghton himself classifies this type in the corpus with Lorber, if you have access to it. (I do not; just his first published collection catalog, which is very limited.) &quot;SC 567&quot; in: A. Houghton &amp; C. Lorber. <i>Seleucid Coins: A Comprehensive Catalog</i>. Lancaster. 2002. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not familiar with that volume, but they may have already checked (though only as of 2002) what&#039;s in major private collections (e.g., Houghton), major auctions (e.g., Naville Ars Classica X), and published museum collections and other references. (E.g., there&#039;s one in SNG Spaer &amp; at least one more in the Bibliotheque Nationale France: <a href="https://numismatics.org/sco/id/sc.1.567" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://numismatics.org/sco/id/sc.1.567" rel="nofollow">https://numismatics.org/sco/id/sc.1.567</a>)</p><p><br /></p><p>Googling around you may find others (e.g., <a href="https://www.academia.edu/870709/The_early_Seleucids_their_gods_and_their_coins" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.academia.edu/870709/The_early_Seleucids_their_gods_and_their_coins" rel="nofollow">here&#039;s a dissertation</a> that illustrates one in Fig. 81; not sure if it&#039;s the same illustration from Houghton &amp; Lorber SC 567, or if the coin illustrated there is different from the one in the HGC series).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
