Looks a little like this but because of the condition I can not be sure.  Take a look this is Ptolemy VI with double eagles and cornucopia.  But yours looks a little cruder, could be just wear.  [DEAD LINK REMOVED BY ADMIN]

Hi Emanuele,
the "Double eagle" figure is generally associated with co-regency, wich is the case with Ptolemy VI

Best regards
