Whitch Ptolemaios?
« on: June 02, 2005, 10:09:37 am »
Since long time I am looking to find a picture of this coin in the literatur and in auction catalogues. It seems that the coin is rather rare! I mean it was struck by Ptolemy VIII. Euergetes. Where is it struck: Alexandria or Kyrenaika?

AE-45 mm, 57.74 grs.
AV: Diademed head of Zeus Ammon to right, dotted border
RV: BASILEWS PTOLEMAIOY EYERGETOY, one cornucopia, bound with fillet

Hi Frans,

Many, many thanks for you information. Sorry for my delated thanks.
The original coin is much nicer than the scan and much more darker.
Sincerely yours
Roland
