| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic style typical of early Seleucid bronze coinage. The portrait displays the god's characteristic youthful features with finely engraved hair bound by a laurel wreath. The flan is irregular and slightly off-center, as is common for hammered bronzes of this period. The field is plain, with no visible inscriptions on the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Antiochos III was in the middle of reasserting Seleucid authority over the eastern satrapies when this issue was struck — a decade-long campaign that would earn him the epithet "the Great" and briefly reconstitute something approaching the original Macedonian conquests. Bronze civic coinage of this period functioned as administrative infrastructure as much as currency, keeping markets and garrisons liquid across an empire being stitched back together by force.
SC1 971 is attributed to the mint at Antioch-on-the-Orontes, the dynastic heartland.
