| Beschrijving keerzijde | Alexander the Great depicted as a mounted warrior, his billowing cloak swept dramatically behind him, charging to the right on horseback. He wears a helmet adorned with a bull's ear and horns — a deliberate iconographic reference to divine or royal power — along with a cuirass, and he couches a spear in his raised right hand. The legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΣΕΛΕΥΚΟΥ runs in the field, identifying the issuing authority as Seleukos I. Below and behind the horse appear the control mark ΣΩ and two monograms serving as mint or magistrate identifiers. |

Seleukos I was the only one of Alexander's successors to reconquer Babylon after losing it — driven out by Antigonos in 315 BC, he retook the city in 312 BC, the date the Seleucid Era itself counts from. The Ekbatana mint, former Achaemenid royal treasury site in Media, was absorbed into his expanding eastern domains and became a significant production center as he pushed his frontiers toward India before eventually ceding territory to Chandragupta Maurya around 303 BC in exchange for war elephants.
