Seleukos I founded his dynasty in 312 BC after seizing Babylon in the aftermath of the Wars of the Diadochi — the brutal succession conflicts that dismembered Alexander's empire. The "uncertain eastern mint" attribution reflects genuine scholarly difficulty: Seleukos operated a sprawling network of mints across former Achaemenid territory, and without consistent magistrate symbols or die-link studies sufficient to anchor this specific issue, provenance remains contested among specialists.
SC 1.130.24 places this within the Houghton-Lorber corpus, the authoritative die study for Seleucid coinage published in 2002.
