Hemichalkous - Ptolemy VI

正面描述	Bare head of Zeus Ammon facing right, depicted with the characteristic ram's horn of Ammon curling behind the ear, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition. The facial features show a mature, bearded visage with wavy hair, exhibiting the syncretic blending of Greek and Egyptian divine iconography typical of Ptolemaic coinage. The flan is irregular with a pronounced green patina from extended burial. No legend or inscription appears in the field.

附加信息	Ptolemy VI came to power as a child, with his mother Cleopatra I serving as regent until her death around 176 BC — precisely when this issue begins. The subsequent power struggle between Ptolemy VI and his younger brother, later Ptolemy VIII, destabilized the kingdom severely enough that Antiochus IV of Syria invaded twice, nearly absorbing Egypt entirely. Small copper fractions like this hemichalkous circulated at the absolute base of the monetary system, used for daily transactions that silver would never touch. Svoronos 1408 places this type within a tightly grouped sequence of Ptolemy VI bronzes distinguished by fabric and module rather than dramatic design changes.
