Need help identifying a Greek? ancient coin

Hello everyone from a newbie to the boards.

I need help identifying this Ancient coin I acquired with a collection of medals. It weighs 18.2 grams, and I believe it is a tetradrachm.

Thanks for any help.

It was up earlier this morning. Some sort of Syro-Hellenic piece, but I did not have the time to identify it further. Maybe one of the kings named Antiochus.

Sorry...I added the link again. Not sure why it stopped working.

Still no good.

By the looks of the link, you uploaded it as a google document? Pasting into my browser says error 403 (not found/not authorized)

"Your client does not have permission to get URL" "Forbidden"

Try uploading it to an image hosting site like photobucket.

Looks like a tetradrachm of the Seleucid empire/Syria. Its of one of the earlier kings named Antiochus, but I'm not familiar enough with the series to say which one. Hope that gets you started.

Thanks for the lead. It looks like Antiochus I from what I found now.
