Ptolemy IV Philopater - 221/205BC - Alexandria - Tetrobol

OBV - Zeus Ammon, facing right
REV - Eagle standing on thunderbolt, wing open on right side of coin, head turned right over open wing, SIGMA EPSILON monogram between legs, square/rectangular countermark of cornucopia at position where typically the device (engraved into die) is found on Ptolemy III issues. Possibly transitional issue or early issue of Ptolemy IV. Lorber (AJN, Second Series #12, pp.67-92, 2000) notes that the countermark may represent re-establishment of monetized value of this type by Ptolemy IV during a time of monetary reform and demonetization of earlier types.
