<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3576782, member: 19463&quot;]Traditional listings give the ID of the portrait as Ptolemy I but the faces do change over the years so I am unclear on how the experts decided that the intent was to show the founder of the dynasty rather than the then current king.&nbsp; Below is one attributed to Ptolemy I himself.&nbsp; He was a bit distinctive in face.&nbsp; Perhaps the coin of P IX was intended to show us what P I looked like before he &#039;used&#039; his face so much???&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]953770[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
