| Reverse description | Standing figure of Libya or a local deity presented in full, facing to the left in a draped garment, rendered in the Hellenistic style associated with the Cyrene mint. The royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ is disposed in the field to the left and right of the figure. A small symbol, possibly a silphium plant or floral device, appears in the lower field, serving as a mint mark characteristic of Cyrenaican issues under Ptolemy II. |
