ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 02/17/2014 2:30 pm I think it's Seleukos III Keraunos, with the head of Artemis on the obverse. On your coin's reverse you can partially read the legend, which names the king. The reverse of these coins names the king. In this case, I think yours reads "BASILEWS SELEYKOY" (BASILEWS to the right, king's name to the left). I didn't carefully search but with your coin in hand compare it to some of the examples listed for this king on wildwinds: http://wildwinds.com/coins/greece/s...s_III/t.html Report this Post to the Staff
