Nice Ptolemaic Bronze... 46.5grams.... pretty big chunk of bronze! Good detail on the obverse, and not too bad on the reverse either, I always liked this style, hope to have one someday. I notice the reverse has a cornucopia on the upper right hand side at around 1 o'clock, what does that mean? Do you know the significance of the cornucopia on the reverse?
