| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, stands facing left in three-quarter view, her large, finely detailed wings spread behind her. She is draped in a chiton that falls to her feet and holds a long stylis (naval trophy standard) in her left hand, while her outstretched right hand crowns a tall trophy or palm branch with a laurel wreath. The vertical legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ appears to the right of the field, and ΣΕΛΕΥΚΟΥ reads vertically to the left. Beneath Nike's feet, control marks including a monogram and additional symbols are visible in the lower field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Seleukos I spent much of his reign reconfiguring Alexander's eastern territories into something administratively functional, and his gold coinage was part of that effort — establishing monetary credibility across a realm stretching from Syria to Bactria. The SC1 reference places this issue within the first systematic Seleucid gold series, struck at a small number of mints as the dynasty consolidated control following the Wars of the Diadochi.
Seleukos was the only one of Alexander's successors to refuse a share of the Macedonian kingdom at Triparadisus in 320 BC, a calculated gamble that ultimately paid off. He was assassinated by Ptolemy Keraunos in 281 BC, the same year this issue ceases.
