| Additional information |
Antiochos I governed the eastern satrapies as co-ruler under his father Seleukos I from around 294 BC, administering an immense territory stretching into Baktria and beyond. The uncertain mint attribution in Drangiana — the region centered on modern Sistan, straddling the Iran-Afghanistan border — reflects how thinly the numismatic record covers these peripheral Seleucid workshops. Coins struck this far east served armies and administrators rather than urban commerce, and many were likely melted and recoined within a generation.
