<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 3233265, member: 96635&quot;]Finally got my first Ptolemy hockey puck, its a &#039;small&#039; one but I like it a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/5vmhzgm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><b>Ptolemy VI-VIII Bronze Coin (Ca. 180 B.C. -145 B.C.) Alexandria mint.</b></p><p><b>Obverse:</b> Diademed head of Zeus Ammon right.</p><p><b>Reverse:</b> ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ, two eagles standing left on thunderbolt, wings closed, cornucopiae in front.</p><p><b>23,51g / 28mm </b></p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is probably from some time in the mid-2nd C. BC. Could be Ptolemy VI, VIII, VI + VIII or Cleopatra II + VIII (unfortunately they didn&#039;t had dates like their Seleukid neighbours). The little circle mark on the reverse is almost certainly made during &#039;lathing&#039; prior to striking the coin with dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Share your Ptolemy hockey pucks here![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
