| Reverse description | An eagle with closed wings stands in left profile upon a thunderbolt, the principal reverse type of Ptolemaic bronze coinage symbolizing divine authority and royal power. In the left field, a bound cornucopia adorned with a royal diadem serves as an additional dynastic emblem. Below the eagle, a ΧΡ monogram appears in the lower field. The encircling legend ΠTOΛEMAIOΥ BAΣIΛEΩΣ, reading 'of King Ptolemy', runs around the periphery in Greek capitals. The composition is bold and well-organized within the confines of this small bronze denomination. |
