Ptolemaic context

drjsilverstein:
OK, a friend excavated this coin in a brick kiln in the Nile delta found with an Alexandrian  Trajan, Hadrian, and Ptolemy II.  The Isis Headdress is distinctive, and the shape is Ptolemaic. Any thoughts?

PtolemAE:
That might be a crown of Isis near the top of one side but doesn't appear to be a Ptolemaic coin.

drjsilverstein:
The designs certainly do not match any Ptolemaic coins I recognize.  perhaps an Alexandrian tetradrachm, though a little small, or from another Hellenistic kingdom?

ancientone:
Maybe one of the nomes of Egypt?

How about showing the coins found with this one? 

Thanks
