Hi. This Ancient Seleucid coin weighs 7.7 g. The reverse shows clearly an elephant at a time when ancient armies used to exploit elephants in their military campaigns, namely Alexander The Great and Hannibal. The obverse figures probably a Seleucid king that I can't identify. I appreciate your comments on this coin. Thanks.. Charles
that's a very nice coin 7c, bust has great detail the elephant is cool. i really like the "bottle cap" seleucids. here's my bottle cap elephant.
Antiochus VI is the one with all the bottle-cap elephants. I can't make out the inscription from the pic, but it should be ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ ΕΠΙΦΑΝΟΥΣ ∆ΙΟΝΥΣΟΥ.
Happy to read those informative and encouraging replies. I won't ask about your guess of the approximate value for the moment. Thanks.. Charles
