SELEUKID EMPIRE. Seleukos III Soter (Keraunos). 225/4-222 BC. AR Tetradrachm (31.5mm, 17.08 g, 12h). Antioch on the Orontes mint. Diademed head right / Apollo, testing arrow and placing hand on grounded bow, seated left on omphalos set on plinth; monograms to outer left and right. SC 921.1; Le Rider, Antioche 31–74 (obv. die A3); HGC 9, 414c. Lightly toned. Good VF. Apparently unique with plinth on reverse.

From the MNL Collection. Ex Gemini XI (12 January 2014), lot 249.

The plinth on the reverse is of very low relief compared to the omphalos and other elements of the design, but its details are clear, and intentional. This suggests that it was engraved over a repair made to the die in that area.
