| Reverse description | An eagle with wings closed stands facing left atop a thunderbolt, its head turned back to the right in a heraldic posture characteristic of Ptolemaic coinage. A royal scepter (caduceus or cornucopia) is visible to the left of the eagle. The Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ arcs around the upper field, reading 'of King Ptolemy,' with the mintmark of Alexandria in the lower field. A dotted border frames the design. |
