| Reverse description | Two eagles standing to the left, their wings closed, clutching a thunderbolt in their talons — a hallmark reverse type of Ptolemaic bronze coinage. To the left of the eagles, at approximately mid-body level, appears the Hathoric headdress of Isis, consisting of a sun disk flanked by cow horns, underscoring the Egyptian religious character of the issue. Below the eagles' feet, a royal monogram is visible in the field. The circular Greek legend ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ runs around the design, identifying the issuing monarch. |
