| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Seleukos I Nikator facing right, depicted wearing a helmet covered in panther skin and adorned with a bull's ear and horn, emblematic of his divine association with the god Dionysos. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic style with fine detail to the facial features and headdress. The field is plain and without legend, consistent with early Seleucid coinage struck at eastern mints. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
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.
