SELEUKID EMPIRE. Antiochos II Theos. 261-246 BC. AR Drachm (16mm, 4.19 g, 12h). Perhaps Tralles mint. Diademed head right / Apollo, loins draped, testing arrow and resting hand on grounded bow, seated left on omphalos; monogram to inner left; monogram in exergue. Cf. SC 535 and 536 (for similar types; same obv. die as illustration of 535.1); cf. HGC 9, 247a (same). Toned, horn silver and die break on obverse. VF. Extremely rare with these controls.

Apparently a new drachm that should be cataloged between SC 535 and 536. SC 535 is closer to the reverse type, however, there Apollo only has slight drapery on his loins whereas they are fully draped on SC 536 (which has Apollo holding bow rather than testing arrow).
