Struck during the reign of Antiochos IX Eusebes, this bronze coin circulated through the Seleukid Kingdom as power fractured and loyalties shifted.
It passed through soldiers awaiting pay, merchants counting change in busy markets, and families trading for daily survival. It was handled without reverence, only necessity, pressed into hands that never imagined it would endure.
More than two thousand years later, this same coin remains. Worn by history. Shaped by lives.
Now carried forward by you.

Who held this before?
Picture a fractured Seleukid city in the late second century BC. Stone streets tense with rumor. Soldiers loyal to different kings watching one another from across the market. Power changes hands quickly here.
Trust is fragile.
This coin once carried weight in uncertain times. It may have paid a soldier fighting not foreigners, but fellow Greeks in endless civil war.
It could have bought food for a family caught between rival rulers, unsure whose laws would rule tomorrow. Perhaps a merchant accepted it cautiously, knowing today’s king could be tomorrow’s enemy. Antiochos IX ruled during chaos, bloodshed, and shifting loyalties.
This coin passed through hands shaped by fear, ambition, and survival. Their struggles ended. Their kingdom fell. The coin endured.
