[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2972770, member: 56859"][url]http://www.ptolemybronze.com/[/url] is the place to go for all of these questions. Attributing these coins is often tough, and the scholarship has changed (and keeps changing). The website linked above is the most up-to-date out there in terms of reassignments and such. You can find Svoronos's catalog and plates on that site. I think yours is Ptolemy III, like this one: [IMG]https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ae43f8_ddb7e4d024f9496186002dda5d59e269.jpg[/IMG] [B]EGYPT.

Heck, maybe I even wrote about it. Can't remember what though, and I can't find it when searching (too many Ptolemy posts in my name).[/QUOTE]
