<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 8178198, member: 118780&quot;]FWIW, CNG seemed pretty convinced:</p><p><br /></p><p>PTOLEMAIC KINGS of EGYPT. Ptolemy II Philadelphos. 285-246 BC. Æ Chalkous(?) (10mm, 1.58 g, 12h). Uncertain mint in eastern Thrace. Struck circa 254-253 BC. Diademed and draped bust of Arsinöe II right / Eagle standing left. Svoronos -; Arslan &amp; Ozen 29-55 (OD6/RD9); SNG Copenhagen -. VF, brown patina. Very rare.</p><p>This type had previously been given to Ptolemy Keraunos, but S. Psoma (“Numismatic Evidence on the Ptolemaic Involvement in Thrace During the Second Syrian War,” AJN 20 [2009]) has persuasively argued for their attribution to the forces of Ptolemy II that were campaigning in Thrace during the Second Syrian War.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
