<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 25475324, member: 87809&quot;]Yesterday I bought this nice Ptolemaic coin; it is a very common issue, I just liked it<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>AE 80 Units</p><p>Alexandria, 205 – 180 BC, struck under Ptolemy V Epiphanes</p><p><br /></p><p>15.59 g (haven&#039;t measured the diameter yet)</p><p>Svoronos 1384, 80 Units marked series class 3; Faucher &amp; Lorber Series 7b; SNG Copenhagen 286</p><p>(the coin flip says Svoronos 1234, which I think is wrong because from what I researched at <a href="http://www.ptolemaic.net" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ptolemaic.net" rel="nofollow">www.ptolemaic.net</a> and here at CT, Svoronos 1234 is unmarked).</p><p><br /></p><p>The monogram ΠΑ on the reverse of this issue is almost certainly a control symbol, not a mintmark.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ob.: Head of Cleopatra I as Isis to r., hair in corkscrew locks, wearing wreath of grain ears. Border of dots.</p><p>Rev.: <i>ΠTOΛEMAIOY BAΣIΛEΩΣ</i> Eagle standing to l. on thunderbolt with open wings; monogram ΠΑ in l. field. Border of dots.</p><p><br /></p><p>Picture courtesy HJB:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1630625[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>and of course I looked through HJB&#039;s pick-bin and got four coins that I have to&nbsp; attribute. Will share when I find out what they are<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please share your Ptolemaic coins of Cleopatra I or anything relevant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
