    I really like these Seleucid bronze coins!
    Even in their weathered condition, the portraits are beautiful. My thanks to @John Anthony, @Ken Dorney, and @Aethelred, for offering some of these fine coins for adoption. Many of these coins are ex. WKR Collection.

    I have a couple of serrates but I haven't attributed them other than knowing they're seleucid. Great presentation Ray!

    Thanks, Jwt708! When I bought my 14 coin Holy Land Collection (my first ancient coins) from the Royal Mint ten years ago—the collection included a Seleucid Kings coin. I decided that I would like to collect coins representing all of the kings. I didn't realize that there were over 30 rulers of the Seleucid Empire. Anyway—I haven't ruled out that goal—although it's going to take a bit longer than I had expected.

    This one's not in the best of shape but it's yours if you want it.

    Instead of posting all 8 bronze from this kingdom I own, how about my favorite?
