SELEUKID EMPIRE. Antiochos III ‘the Great’. 222-187 BC. AR Tetradrachm (27.5mm, 16.98 g, 12h). Soli mint. Struck circa 192/0 BC. Diademed head right (Type E) / Apollo, testing arrow and placing hand on grounded bow, seated left on omphalos; to outer left, monogram above helmeted head of Athena left; monogram to outer right. SC 1020/1019.3b (for obv./rev.); Houghton, Royal – (A2/P3 [unlisted die combination]); HGC 9, 447q. Lightly toned, a few marks, some horn silver, small scuffs at edge. VF. Very rare hybrid of earlier reverse die with later obverse type.

From the MNL Collection, purchased from Harlan J. Berk, Ltd. (inv. no. cc85414).

This coin must have been from the very first issue of coins struck at Soli after the introduction of Antiochos’s Type E portrait, as it employs a reverse die that had been paired first with coins bearing his earlier Type Cii portrait.
