| Reverse description | Ptolemaic eagle standing to left on thunderbolt with closed wings, rendered in the conventional dynastic type established under Ptolemy I and maintained throughout the Ptolemaic series. The eagle is depicted in profile with its head turned slightly, talons gripping the thunderbolt below. The abbreviated royal legend 'BA' (for BASILEOS) appears in the field, flanking or partially split by the eagle's body. The overall type is characteristic of the small bronze fractional coinage struck under Ptolemy X Alexander I. |
