Just arrived today and is definitely one of the more appealing coins I own - large flan, super strike, sharp details, clean surface and near perfect centering. In particular, I like the Nike design on the reverse similar to the reverse on the Alexander also posted below.
Seleucid Kingdom. Antiochus IX Philopator.114/3-95 BC. AR Tetradrachm. 29mm, 16.52gr. Antioch Mint. Obv. Portrait facing right. Rev. Athena holding Nike. HGC 9, 1228i. NGC graded MS* Strike 5/5, Surface 5/5, Fine Style.

<< <i>MS* 5/5 5/5 fine style, it gets no better than that! >>
Actually, with NGC Ancients' scale, you could also have Choice MS* 5/5, 5/5, fine style, but... yeah. That's a pretty incredible coin.
The portrait is amazing. Love the subtleties of his facial hair and the soulful "puppy dog eyes". Very expressive.
Really an awesome piece, Z. Love it.
