Seleucid coins

Seleucid coins were minted during the Seleucid Empire, which existed from 312 to 63 BCE, following the death of Alexander the Great. The empire spanned parts of modern-day Turkey, Iran, and Syria. These coins often depicted the kings, gods, or symbols of the empire, reflecting its vast culture and influences. Silver and bronze were common materials, and they played a crucial role in trade and economic stability. The designs on the coins helped communicate power and legitimacy, while their widespread circulation facilitated commerce across the diverse regions of the empire.
