Tetradrachm of Antiochos VII, who reigned 138-129 B.C. The obverse
  portrays his diademned head right. Note the absence of wear on the high
points. The reverse depicts Athena standing left, holding a small figure of
    Nike in her right hand. Her left hand holds a scepter and rests on a
  shield, upon which can be seen a human face. Again, no wear is evident.
    David Sear wrote that Antiochos VII, "almost alone amongst the later
 Seleukid monarchs,... ruled with competency and integrity." He was killed in battle against the Parthians.
