Tyre-like bronze...

I found this in some uncleaneds, and thought it might be Tyrian due to the style of the eagle and the inverted club in the left field (can't see it in the pic, but it's there).  Problem is, I can't make out anything resembling Tyre on the reverse legend.

I know that some Ptoloemaic coins use a similar style of eagle, but that's about the limit of my knowledge.

Anyone recognize this?  Thanks!

mauseus:
Greek ain't my thing but I can make out Ptolemy's name in front of the eagle.

Don't ask me which one  ;).

Ptolemy III Euergetes, 246-221 BC, AE16. Diademed head of Zeus-Ammon right / PTOLEMAIOY BASILEWS, eagle standing left on thunderbolt, cornucopiae before,
