Head of the syncretic deity Zeus-Ammon in right profile, distinguished by a ram's horn curving behind the ear — the characteristic attribute of the Egyptian god Ammon — and bound with a taenia surmounted by the royal basileion. The modelling is bold and plastic in the Hellenistic tradition, with deeply rendered curling locks framing the face and a pronounced brow conveying divine authority. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show typical wear and patination consistent with heavy circulation. |

An eagle with wings closed stands in left profile upon a thunderbolt, its head turned slightly forward in the characteristic Ptolemaic eagle type that became the emblematic reverse device of the dynasty. A lotus blossom, a potent symbol of Egyptian royal and divine imagery, is depicted in the left field. The reverse carries the royal legend ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ arranged around the eagle, identifying the coin as an issue of King Ptolemy. |

Ptolemy III Euergetes inherited a kingdom already at war — his reign opened with the Third Syrian War, launched in 246 BC partly as retaliation for the murder of his sister Berenice II in the Seleucid court. The campaign pushed Ptolemaic reach deep into Syria and briefly into the Seleucid heartland, making this one of the more militarily aggressive reigns of the dynasty. Bronze issues of this period circulated heavily across an expanded territorial network, from Egypt through Coele-Syria and into the Aegean.
The Svoronos 841 attribution places this within a well-documented but internally complex series, with Lorber's corpus refining the die groupings considerably.
