| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed head of Antiochos I Soter in right-facing profile, with elaborately rendered curling locks of hair swept back from the forehead and falling behind the neck. The portrait displays the youthful, idealized Hellenistic style characteristic of early Seleucid royal coinage, with fine facial features and a prominent diadem tied at the rear. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, filling the field with the bust and leaving little empty space around the effigy. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Antiochos I assumed sole rule in 281 BC following the assassination of his father Seleukos I at the hands of Ptolemy Keraunos, inheriting an empire perpetually at war on multiple fronts. Seleukeia on the Tigris was the administrative and commercial heart of the eastern territories — not a peripheral mint but the dominant production center for coinage circulating through Babylonia and beyond.
The SC reference places this among the exhaustively catalogued Newell material refined by Houghton and Lorber. Die studies on this series have confirmed significant output variability across the reign, with some sub-types showing pronounced reuse of worn obverse dies before replacement.
