| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hermes standing facing, depicted in the round in frontal stance with slight weight shift. The god holds a palm branch in one hand and a caduceus in the other, both attributes consistent with his role as divine messenger and patron of commerce. The royal titulature in Greek appears in two vertical columns flanking the central figure, reading from left to right around the type. The design is characteristic of the late Seleucid bronze coinage under Demetrios III. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Demetrios III ruled a Seleucid realm already fractured beyond recovery — his reign of roughly two years saw him contending simultaneously with his brother Philip I for control of Syria, while also intervening in Judaea, where he briefly defeated Alexander Jannaeus at the Battle of Shechem in 88 BC. He ultimately died in Parthian captivity, kept alive as a useful political pawn rather than executed outright. Bronze issues from his reign are scarce relative to earlier Seleucid production, reflecting a mint system increasingly disrupted by civil conflict and shrinking territorial control.
