IMPORTANT NOTE - The Buyer's Premium is now $20 per lot or 20% of the hammer price, whichever amount is greater. However, we have also reduced opening bids on lower value items to adjust for the new Buyer's Premium structure, so all-in costs are still very close to what they were in the past. This change in fee structure will allow us to continue to offer coins valued at less than $100 in addition to our higher value offerings. Contact us with any questions.
SELEUKID KINGDOM: Seleukos II Kallinikos, 246-226 BC, AR tetradrachm (17.15g), Alexandria in Aria (Artacoana), SC-830.3, diademed head right // Apollo standing left, holding arrow and resting elbow on tripod, one monogram above another to outer left, a third one to outer right, struck with heavily worn obverse die (as is common for this mint), attractive bold reverse with curious barbarous calligraphy, slight broadstrike, very rare, VF-XF. Seleukid coinage ended in Aria when the province fell to the Diodoti of the newly independent Greco-Bactrian kingdom. Hence, coins in the name Seleukos II were likely issued for a brief period at the beginning of his reign.
