A part of a collection of eight Seleucid coins. COA Included.
This coin needs to be held to be appreciated.
The Seleucid Empire, founded by Seleucus I Nicator after the death of Alexander the Great, was one of the largest Hellenistic states. It spanned from modern-day Turkey, Syria, Iran, and parts of Central Asia.
Coins like this were issued for:
Local trade and administration in Seleucid-controlled cities.
Religious or temple-related functions, particularly if the Rod of Asklepios is linked to a healing sanctuary.
Military pay for soldiers, as the Seleucid dynasty was frequently engaged in wars against Ptolemaic Egypt, Parthians, and internal rebellions.
Coins of The Seleucid Kingdom 312–150 BC
