    @TIF -- UROCK! My lesson here is well learned - don't rely solely on others attributions and information/scholarship can change.

    Yep, I think this is one of the highlights by the Ptolemy dynasty in silver.

    Ptolemy VIII? Kyrene AE16 with reverse head of Libya --- but why would anyone buy this little thing when they can have a nice eagle? Compare this to the ones on PtolemyBronze.com. Anyone have a clear legend one?
