ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 01/27/2014 10:06 am If it is real, it was issued by a Seleukid king, in the style of Alexander III. The writing in the right field of the reverse spells SELEYKOY. Edited to add: Seleukid Kingdom, Seleukos I Nikator AR Tetradrachm the mark in the left field (on the reverse) indicated the Seleukeia on the Tigris mint To see similar coins, go to this wildwinds link and scroll a little more than halfway down the page. http://wildwinds.com/coins/greece/s...kos_I/t.html This type of coin is often faked and I haven't studied them (or yours) enough to render an educated opinion on whether yours is real. There are several databases of fakes and you might want to check to see if any match. http://www.forgerynetwork.com/default.aspx http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fa...umbnails.php Edited by ThisIsFun 01/27/2014 10:25 am Report this Post to the Staff
