| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed head of Antiochos III Megas facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition with fine detail. The royal diadem is tied at the nape of the neck, its ends falling behind. The hair is depicted in short, layered waves framing the face, with a subtly idealized yet individualized physiognomy characteristic of Seleucid royal portraiture. The truncation of the neck is clean, set within a broad, well-defined field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Antiochos III earned his epithet "Megas" — the Great — largely through the Anabasis, his eastern campaign of 212–205 BC that reasserted Seleucid authority across Bactria, Parthia, and into the Indian subcontinent. The coins struck at Antioch immediately following that campaign carry a particular political charge: they were the currency of a king who had just forced distant satraps back into the fold and was now pivoting westward, toward Coele-Syria and an eventual catastrophic collision with Rome at Magnesia in 190 BC.
SC 1042 is well-documented across multiple die studies, with the Antioch mint operating at high volume during this window to fund precisely those western ambitions.
