Hi All,
I have a
Ptolemy Bronze coming in the mail and I am having trouble identifying it.
It is 20mm in
diameter and re the
obverse, since I can’t find an
Ammon horn, I presume that it shows
Zeus Laureate. The
reverse shows an
eagle with open wings and left facing
head.
I have checked
Ptolemy and the other common sources and haven’t found similar but, when I enter the above details in
PtolemAE Demo, it
comes up with
Svoronos 1183.
Being off-struck on the
reverse the
inscription cannot be verified. I am usually not lucky enough to get a
scarce coin like Sv1183 and so presume I have gone wrong somewhere.
Would someone please
help me identify the coin and put me out of my misery.
Stay Safe
All the best,so
Col.
