Unidentified ancient Greek coin #2

Hello,

16mm 3.5 grams Copper or bronze
thank you in advance
​​​​​

On the last picture, at the top, the legend reads ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ which means "(coin) of King (so-and-so)".

Unfortunately, I can't read the name of the king on the bottom line, though it ends in ...ΧΟΥ.

Altogether, this means "(Coin) of King .......chos". I'd like to read "of Antiochos" with the first "O" looking almost like a dot. There are at least two examples of this in the catalogue, but it's not your coin.

Here are the results for the search ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ. I don't see your coin there. There were quite a few kings named Antiochos (or Antiochus in English), which makes this more difficult.

Seems to be very similar to this one.

Thank you so much for your help!

Yours is definitely not Demetrius.

I'm almost certain of my reading. The problem now is to find out which Antiochos he is.

By the way, the Greek X is usually transcribed ch in English, sometimes kh.

Update

Hello,

This coin is almost exactly the same, besides the weight and diameter.

The similarities strongly suggest that your coin is also from the Seleucid Empire.

Now, yours was struck under the authority of an Antiochos, not a Seleucos. As I said before, the problem is to find out which of the 12 Antiochoi (plural of Antiochos) it is who ruled over the Seleucid Empire. I would start with Antiochos III and IV who ruled just before and after Seleukos IV respectively.

The Numista catalogue is very incomplete for the ancient world. You can try the Wildwinds website. Here are the pages for Antiochos III and Antiochos IV.
