Overstruck on a Antiochian issue of the same ruler, otherwise, very fine. From the CG Collection. This coin was overstruck, on a bronze of Alexander I Balas, struck in Antioch (SC 1790.3). Considerable parts of the undertype are still visible: The helmeted head of Athena on the obverse as well as the lower part of Nike, with the control B on the reverse.
