Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, Ptolemy IV or Ptolemy V, 222 - 205/4 B.C. or 204 - 180 B.C.
|Ptolemaic| |Egypt|, |Ptolemaic| |Kingdom| |of| |Egypt,| |Ptolemy| |IV| |or| |Ptolemy| |V,| |222| |-| |205/4| |B.C.| |or| |204| |-| |180| |B.C.|, There is not agreement among scholars on the date or reign for this type. Weiser assigns the type to Ptolemy X Alexander, presumably because Alexander would favor his namesake as a type, but notes the attribution is hypothetical. The latest research "A Metrological Survey of Ptolemaic Bronze Coins II: Alexandria First and Second Centuries BC, by Daniel Wolf, in American Journal of Numismatics 2021, Vol. 33, pp. 57 - 119, indicates attribution to Ptolemy IV or Ptolemy V, 222 - 180 B.C. While we are using the latest research, our confidence in the reigns and dates is low.
