Seleucid Kingdom Philip I Silver Tetradrachm (95-75 BC) VF
This silver tetradrachm represents a fascinating chapter of ancient coinage, originally minted during the reign of Philip I between 95 and 75 BC. Interestingly, this specific piece is a posthumous issue, produced much later, from approximately 69 to 57 AD. It carries a weight of about 14.99 grams and spans a diameter of 29 millimeters. The obverse of the coin displays a detailed, right-facing portrait of the ruler wearing a diadem. On the reverse, the supreme deity Zeus is shown seated and facing left, holding a scepter in one hand and the winged goddess Nike in the other. Preserved in Very Fine condition, this silver issue offers a remarkable window into the enduring legacy of Seleucid imagery long after the kingdom itself had transformed.
