Hi all. I got this coin of Demetrius I.(162-150 BC.) to the Seleucid dynasty.Serrated Edge Bronze 24mm (25 mm) Laureate head of Apollo right, bow and quiver at shoulder.
Î'Î'ΣΙΛΕΩΣ / Î"Î- ΜÎ- ΤΡΙΟΥ either side of tripod. (King...Demetrio)
Demetrius-I.162-150-Bc.-Seleucid-Dynasty.serrated-Edge
Is off center, because I see only the greek letters , to the right of "tripod" , I think they are missing the left... Is that so?.
So I like more.

Hello "bobbyhelmet": I don´t find nothing similar with those measures (is very little)....is more dificult because my coin is "serrated border" (more easy to identification)but your coin...is apollo and a tripod...is only I know...sorry, if I dicover anything I notice.
Thank's for answer to fast!
¡¡Merry Christmas!

Off center is common with bottle caps. I agree with your statements and especially in admiring #3. Coins in poor condition are not really suitable to prove any new variation but I see no reason to believe that all three you show did not start out as the same type.

Date: 280-261 BC
Obverse: Laureate head of Apollo right
Reverse: AΣIΛE / ANTIOXOY, Tripod, anchor below
Size: 16.67 mm (There are smaller to...)
Look at here....Demetrius-I.162-150-Bc.-Seleucid-Dynasty.serrated-Edge
Antiochus II AE Denomination E (10-11mm). Mint associated with Sardes, possibly Tralles. Laureate head of Apollo right / BASILEWS ANTIOXOY, tripod, Y over O monogram right.

Feliz Navidad Danielus - I think you are correct and that last coin is mine, or very, very similar to mine. Many thanks.
