正面描述 Draped bust of Arsinoe II facing right, wearing a stephane adorned with a floral or radiate ornament and a fine diadem, her hair arranged in tight curls at the brow and bound beneath a veil that falls in long striations over the neck and shoulders. The portrait is rendered in the refined Hellenistic court style, presenting the queen with idealized yet individualized features. A small control mark, appearing as the letter K, is visible in the lower left field. The beaded border encircles the entire design.

附加信息

Issued posthumously — Arsinoe II died around 270 BC — this heavyweight gold piece was struck under Ptolemy III as part of a sustained dynastic cult built around his deified predecessor and aunt-turned-stepmother. The Ptolemaic court had invested heavily in her apotheosis, and these large gold pieces functioned as instruments of that religious-political program, circulating as proof of divine favor rather than as everyday transactional currency.

The mnaieion denomination, equivalent to a full gold mina, was among the largest gold coins produced in the Hellenistic world by weight.
