| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet, the crest and cheek-guards rendered in relief. The facial features display the refined Hellenistic style characteristic of Seleucid bronze coinage, with a strong profile and slightly parted lips. The flan is irregularly shaped, as typical of struck bronze issues of this period, with the design centered within a plain field. No legend appears on the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Antiochos III earned his epithet "the Great" largely through the Fifth Syrian War, which ended in 198 BC with his decisive victory at Panion — the battle that wrested Coele-Syria and Phoenicia from Ptolemaic control for good. This issue dates to precisely that moment of peak Seleucid territorial expansion, when the dynasty controlled more of Alexander's former empire than at any point since its founding.
The SC1 1095.2 attribution places this among a tightly defined series. Antiochos III's reign would end badly at Elymais in 187 BC, attempting to plunder a temple treasury to service war indemnities imposed by Rome after Magnesia.
