Need Help to ID a large Ancient.

Hello again! I popped into my LCS today and picked out few more ancient coins. I am starting to like ancients, especially since they are so cheap, this one cost me a whole 5 dollars! It is VERY heavy and has some sort of corrosion over the entire surface, possible BD? I did a little bit of research and found out that it is most likely from Egypt. I tried to identify the coin using the Wild Winds website, but I was unable to find a category that contained this type of coin.
Thanks for the help everyone!

Check under coins of Ptolemy BTW, great buy!

 

What is the weight?

 

It is exactly 1.45 ounces.

 

Hi @Coins4Eli,

If Wildwinds doesn’t work for you try http://ptolemybronze.com/ptolemy_series.html

- Broucheion

 

41 grams is a nice chuncker!

 

You can also try acsearch https://www.acsearch.info/home.html just type in ptolemy, eagle right

 

Thanks everyone for the links. I got some more pictures of the coin after I applied some Blue Ribbon to it. You really can see a difference, all of the caked on dirt was removed. Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove the last bit of green, or is it not removable?

 

VerdiCare is available from Wizard Coin Supply. It will remove and neutralize the corrosion.
