Unique Mule Hybrid of Lysimachus and Seleucid types, ancient imitation. 306-281 BC. Tetradrachm, 15.44g (11h). Uncertain Mint, c. 245-225 BC. Obv: Head of Alexander the Great right, horned, wearing diadem. Rx: [Β]ΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ − [Α]ΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ Naked Apollo seated left on omphalos, holding arrow in right hand and resting left hand on bow. For the obverse, see Meydancıkkale 2720, 2733 and 2734. For the reverse, see C. Boehringer in Carson/Jenkins Essays, pl. XI, 9. VF/Fine+ This hybrid tetradrachm is without parallel as far as we can discover. The obverse rather accurately copies that of the posthumous Lysimachus tetradrachms that were struck by numerous mints in both Thrace and Asia Minor for decades after Lysimachus’ death in 281 BC. The reverse, however, is Seleucid both in type, Apollo seated on the omphalos at Delphi, and legend, that of a ruler with the Seleucid name Antiochus. The style of the reverse is slightly barbarous, indicating that the coin is irregular rather than a mule produced in an official city mint that had recently been captured by a Seleucid general. The absence of control marks supports this view. Perhaps our coin was struck by the Galatian mercenaries that Antiochus Hierax engaged for his war against his brother Seleukus II Callinicus in the 230s BC; the engraver of the reverse die could have worked earlier in a Celtic workshop in Thrace or Asia Minor. At any rate, this coin gives us a fascinating glimpse into the frequently changing borders and allegiances in Asia Minor during the almost continuous wars between the Hellenistic rulers in the third century BC

Antiochus I, "The Savior": Attribution Debated Seleucid Kingdom. Interregnum. The "Soter" Coinage. 246-244 BC. Tetradrachm, 17.00g (11h).

No control marks. SC 641. WSM 1144. Le Rider, Antioche, pp. 74 f. Houghton Coll. I 419. About EF The rare tetradrachms issued in the name of Antiochus I Soter, this coin and the next two in our sale, are something of an enigma. Newell attributed them to Apamea in the interregnum after the murder of Antiochus II, conjecturing that they were struck to pay the troops permanently garrisoned in and around Apamea while Antioch, the Syrian capital, was occupied by Ptolemaic troops. He believed that the neutral types were selected to protect the local authorities regardless of the outcome of the civil war. Le Rider, however, rejected Newell`s attribution to Apamea. He tentatively assigned the "Soter" tetradrachms to a mint closely associated with Antioch, perhaps a second workshop within the mint or a facility located in an Antioch suburb such as Daphne; but he left open the possibility that they might be products of a different mint, struck later than the interregnum
