Evening all. I am sorry to be back with yet another coin, but I purchased this coin recently and was wondering if someone could help ID it. Unfortunately, it is one of those coins which my iphone doesn't take good pictures of because of its size, and I have yet to master the optimizer. So I apologize for the poor photos.    It looks as though the face has curly hair, but apparently not a beard. Thank you all for your help! |

Could be Seleucid. I think I might see an arrow in the hand of the reverse standing figure, which could make it Apollo...also looks like maybe (?) NT above the arrow, and IO below, perhaps suggesting ANTIOXOY. If I had to guess, I might venture Antiochus III (typically on his reverses of this type the NT and IO split at the arrow)...but there's not much to go on here.  |

For comparison, an Antiochus III reverse.  |
