| Lot description: Seleukid Empire, Seleukos II Æ 11mm. Uncertain mint in Northern Syria or Mesopotamia, circa 246-226 BC. Head of Athena to right, wearing Attic helmet / [ΒΑΣΙ] ΣΕΛΕ, forepart of horse to left; monogram in left field, EY in right field. SC -; HGC 9, -; Nomos obolos 24, 325 (hammer: 1,300 CHF). 0.98g, 11mm, 9h. Near Very Fine; pleasant earthen repatination. Unpublished and only the second known. This new fractional bronze type seems certainly to be a previously unknown type of Seleukos II Kallinikos, the fourth ruler of the Seleukid dynasty. It shares its obverse type and the controls found on the reverse with SC 700, an issue of Seleukos II attributed under the heading of probably Antioch (but whose find spots, according to the notes in SC, could support an origin in northern Syria or Mesopotamia). The abbreviated legend, if it reads as described here, is also recorded for Seleukos II, and it would seem that under this king the horse and cavalryman received particular prominence as coin types, perhaps to more closely associate Seleukos and his horse with the famous steeds and exploits of both his grandfather, Seleukos I, and Alexander the Great. Estimate: 250 GBP |  |
