Commentary
Dernière année de fabrication pour Antiochus VII qui disparaît en 129 avant J.-C. remplacé par Démétrius II pour un second règne de quatre ans. Semble de même coin de droit que l’exemplaire n° 75, pl. 48 du trésor de Tyr, 1987 (marque de contrôle ZB au revers entre les pattes de l’aigle).
Last year of manufacture for Antiochus VII who died in 129 BC, replaced by Demetrius II for a second reign of four years. Seems to have the same obverse die as copy no. 75, pl. 48 of the Tyre treasury, 1987 (ZB control mark on the reverse between the eagle's legs)

Historical background
SYRIA - SELEUKID KINGDOM - ANTIOCHUS VII SIDETES
(138-129 BC)
Antiochus VII was the second son of Demetrius I and the brother of Demetrius II Nicator. His nickname Sidetes comes from the city of Side, where he was raised. He married his sister-in-law Cleopatra, the daughter of Ptolemy VI, after eliminating Tryphon who had had Antiochus VI Dionysus assassinated. During his reign, he had to fight against the Jews who had emancipated themselves and refused to pay tribute, and against his powerful Parthian neighbors who had captured his brother, Demetrius II Nicator. Defeated by the Parthians of Phraates II (138-127 AC.), he died during a brawl and left a son, the future Antiochus IX Cyzicene.
