<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Broucheion, post: 4424155, member: 104887&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the reverse of a Ptolemaic not in Svoronos (but can be found in the lesser known Köln collection as Köln-180). It has an A in the reverse left field. A die break made this otherwise pretty rough coin gave the seller the idea to try to fob it off to me as a shark (!!) on the reverse. So, here is my (delayed) shark week coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1109059[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: left"><b>Ptolemy IX Soter II (as King of Cyprus: 105/4-89/88 BCE)</b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b>Cyprus, Uncertain Mint, ca 105/104 - 89/88 BCE</b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b>Æ Size:</b> 29 mm </p> <p style="text-align: left"><b>Weight:</b> 15.33 g</p> <p style="text-align: left"><b>OBV:</b> Ammon head facing right.
