| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait style characteristic of early Seleucid coinage. The deity's hair is arranged in loose locks falling behind the neck, with the royal diadem ribbons visible. The portrait is boldly modeled in high relief, occupying the full field of the flan. The surface displays an even green patina consistent with long burial, with details partially obscured by encrustation. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Delphic tripod, the sacred cult symbol of Apollo, depicted in the center of the field with three legs and a bowl surmounting the columnar shaft. The Greek royal legend BAΣIΛEΩΣ ANTIOXOY is distributed in two lines flanking the tripod, reading 'of King Antiochos,' affirming the royal authority of Antiochos I Soter. A dotted border encircles the design. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with green patination and moderate surface wear obscuring portions of the legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Antiochos I inherited an empire under immediate military pressure — his reign opened with the Seleucid-Ptolemaic wars and was defined almost entirely by the difficulty of holding a kingdom stretching from Syria to Bactria together without his father Seleukos I's personal authority. Bronze civic issues of this period were produced across multiple mints simultaneously, and the SC 336 attribution places this piece within a regional production network rather than a single controlled mint output. Die linkage studies by Houghton and Lorber have identified considerable variation within the type, making mint attribution of individual specimens genuinely contested.
