Good VF, reverse a little rough, with scrapes and light graffiti. Rare. When Lysimachos established the mint of Pergamon, he entrusted its treasury to the eunuch Philetairos.

Although Seleukos was assassinated the following year, Philetairos continued to acknowledge Seleukid primacy. This coinage, commemorating Seleukos I, was struck while Pergamon was still loyal to the Seleukids, under their king Antiochos I.
