<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jochen1, post: 3310398, member: 103829&quot;]There can&#039;t be any doubt that on TIF&#039;s coin a Pharao is depicted. This coin has been struck for the Arsinoites nome. This nome (old Egyptian administration district) was equal to the Oasis of Fayum. The Pharao is Amenemhet III, c.1842-1795 BC, of the 12th dynasty, the last one of the Middle Kingdom. He had significantly contributed to the Drainage and cultivation of the Oasis. A local Cult of this Pharao was wide spread in Fayum. Here is my coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>Egypt, Alexandria, Arsinoites Nome, Hadrian, AD&nbsp; 117-138</p><p>AE - Obol, 19.19mm, 4.52g, 0°</p><p>struck 126/127 (year 11)</p><p>obv.
