| Aanvullende informatie |
Ptolemy III Euergetes inherited a kingdom already at war — he launched the Third Syrian War within months of taking the throne, driving deep into Seleucid territory and reportedly reaching as far as Babylonia before internal revolts in Egypt forced his return. The bronze coinage issued from Alexandria during his reign funded both that campaign and an ambitious building program that included major work at Karnak.
The Svoronos 970 attribution places this piece within a well-documented but thinly spread series. Bronze fractions of this size saw hard use in Egyptian market transactions and survivors with readable surfaces are not routine.
