The following Tetradrachm has Ptolemy I on obverse but it's likely to have been struck under Ptolemy II. He's wearing aegis, and the reverse reads Sotheros instead of Basileos. Thus he's been deified through this commemorative coin. The mint is probably Phoenician but uncertainly from Sidon to be precise. It weighs 13.43 g. I didn't clean it yet. Please post your comments, if you have.
I don't know if Soteros (savior) was a term limited to commemorative coins after the death of the person on the coin. You might want to check that out.
The coin was struck at Ake-Ptolemais Phoenicia (AKKO) under Ptolemy III , 246- 221 BC. The person on the coin is wearing aegis. Is he Ptolemy I ? Deified. Svoronos 786.
