The Seleucid Empire AR Stater of Seleucus I Nicator (312-281 BC) is a powerful relic from the dawn of one of the greatest Hellenistic empires. Struck during the turbulent years following Alexander the Great’s death, this coin embodies the ambitions of Seleucus I, the general who carved out a vast domain stretching from Asia Minor to India.

Featuring Ba’al, the revered Semitic deity, seated on the obverse, and a lion with an anchor on the reverse, this coin reflects the fusion of Greek and Near Eastern traditions—an intentional strategy by Seleucus to unify his diverse subjects. The anchor, a hallmark of his coinage, symbolizes his naval strength and legitimacy as ruler of the east.

Few coins capture the raw power and political genius of the Hellenistic age like this one. Whether you’re drawn to its artistry, historical depth, or investment potential, this piece offers a rare opportunity to own a coin from the very foundation of the Seleucid Empire.
