Seleucid Kingdom AR Hemidrachm Antiochus I (281-261 BC) Fine NGC
Dating back to the years 281 to 261 BC, this silver hemidrachm offers a tangible connection to the ancient Seleucid Empire. Minted in the historic city of Antioch, the coin represents the early decades of a powerful Hellenistic dynasty. Despite the passage of millennia, the artistry of this ancient era remains clearly visible on the small silver canvas. The obverse side of the coin features the right-facing profile of Antiochus I, adorned with a royal diadem. Turn the coin over to discover the reverse design, which showcases the detailed head of a horse, also facing right. This specific specimen has survived the centuries with enough detail to be certified and graded as Fine, preserving a fascinating glimpse into the classical Mediterranean world.
