107, Lot: 81. Sold for 332.

SELEUKID KINGS of SYRIA. Seleukos I Nikator. 
312-280 BC. AR Drachm (16mm, 4.33 gm, 11h). 
Bablyon II mint. Struck in the name of Alexander 
III of Macedon, circa 311-308/5 BC. Head of 
Herakles right, wearing lion's skin headdress / 
[B]ASILEWS ALEXANDRO[U], Zeus seated left, 
holding arrow and sceptre; in left field, D 
above anchor; G below throne. SC 97.1 corr.; 
Price 3345A corr.; WSM -; SNG Spaer -. 

The controls on this particular coin are an 
apparent match for SC 97.1, but for the 
appearance of the royal title. SC cites Price 
3345A for this coin. SC notes that the second 
control may be an A rather than a Delta so one could 
assume that the reverse die used for that coin is the same 
as the one used for ours, which also has a delta that looks 
like an A. Thus, the omission of the royal title in SC is 
likely a mistake, or off the flan.
