| Reverse description | Apollo Delphios depicted standing to the left in a relaxed contrapposto stance, his weight resting upon a tall tripod positioned to his right. The god holds an arrow in his extended right hand, inspecting or testing its shaft, a motif closely associated with Seleucid dynastic iconography and the claim of Seleucid descent from Apollo. A dynastic monogram appears in the outer left field. The reverse legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΣEΛΕΥΚΟΥ runs along the outer margins, identifying the issuing authority. |
