[QUOTE="stam1, post: 3596464, member: 104604"]I'm still not 100% sure about the ID but I think I'm close :shame: [ATTACH=full]961913[/ATTACH] I believe this is a Ptolemy II Philadelphos. 285-246 BC. Æ 20mm. There's still a weight difference: mine is 5.0g, the one from the picture is 5.33g. I wonder if that means these are not the same?? The coin above mine is this one: [URL]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=453147[/URL] The most identifiable attribute is the high shoulder open wing and the pattern (looks like dots) on the open wings. A search for [SIZE=5]"[B]ptolemy 20mm open wing[/B]"[/SIZE] brings up some other candidates. I hope some Ptlemy expert here on CT can correct me if I'm wrong. What do you think? Did I get it right?[/QUOTE]
