This paper deals with a group of Seleucus I's coins with an obverse of a male head wearing a helmet covered with panther skin and adorned with bull ears and horns, and with another panther skin round the neck; on the reverse Nike crowning a trophy and the legend 'BASILEOS SELEYKOY'. To the list of previous interpretations a further suggestion about Seleucus I's monetary propaganda can be added. The author argues that by minting coins with the portrait of Alexander the Great with Dionysiac attributes Seleucus made an ideological background for his own divinity, as well as his own monetary portrait.
