Bagadat was likely a Seleukid governor of Fars and issued his own coins 
in the 3rd century BC.  Later Fars became independent for a time, then 
fell under Parthian rule.

An interesting technical detail is that the coin was struck over one of 
Demetrios Poliorketes (taker of cities). On the obverse one can see the 
remnants of Demetrios's diadem and on the reverse the ????? from 
????????? on the lower left and ? from ???????? on on the upper right.

The coin was struck in what is now Iran, by a Seleukid governor, and 
over a Macedonian coin.

Any kinda comment welcome!
