This is a genuine coin from the ancient Greek Seleucid Kingdom under the rule of Demetrius II. It is a great addition to any coin collection, especially for those interested in ancient history.

Demetrius Il, called Nicator, was one of the sons of Demetrius I Soter. His mother may have been Laodice V, as was the case with his brother Antiochus VII Sidetes.

Demetrius ruled the Seleucid Empire for two periods, separated by a number of years of captivity in Hyrcania in Parthia, first from September 145 BC to July/August

138 BC, and again from 129 BC until his death in 125 BC. His brother Antiochus VII ruled the Seleucid Empire in the interim between his two reigns.

Whether you're a collector or a history enthusiast, this Seleucid Kingdom coin is a must-have.
