SELEUKID KINGS OF SYRIA. Antiochos VIII Epiphanes (Grypos), 121/0-97/6 BC. Tetradrachm (Silver, 26.5 mm, 16.00 g, 12 h), second reign at Antioch, circa 112-110. Diademed head of Antiochos VIII to right. Rev. ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ ΕΠΙΦΑΝΟΥΣ Zeus Ouranios, with crescent on his head, draped from the waist, standing facing, his head to left, holding a star in his outstretched right hand and a long scepter in his left; to left, in the outer left field, monogram above A; in the inner right field, Γ; all within laurel wreath. HGC 9, 1197e. SC 2302.1e. Rare. Boldly struck, of very fine style and very attractive. Some very minor roughness, otherwise, extremely fine.



Coins from Antiochos VIII's second reign at Antioch are much rarer than coins from either his first or third reigns there.
