背面描述	Nike, the goddess of victory, advancing to the left in flowing drapery, extending her right hand to offer a wreath. A dynastic monogram appears in the outer left field. The composition is characteristic of Seleucid silver coinage of the later second century BC, with Nike serving as a symbol of royal military prowess and divine favor. The reverse legend surrounds the central type in the customary Seleucid epigraphic arrangement.

附加信息	Antiochos VII was the last Seleucid king to exercise genuine control over the eastern territories. His campaigns against the Parthians initially succeeded — he retook Mesopotamia and pushed deep into Media — but the overextension proved fatal. In 129 BC his army was destroyed and he was killed at the Battle of Ecbatana, after which Parthia permanently absorbed the Iranian plateau and the Seleucid state never recovered its eastern reach. Drachms of his reign were struck at multiple mints including Antioch and Side, the latter city giving him his cognomen.
