| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large eagle with closed wings stands facing left upon a thunderbolt, its head turned slightly forward, rendered with finely detailed feathering across the breast and folded wings. To the left of the eagle appears the regnal date in Egyptian year notation: L IB (year 12) above the control letter Θ (theta). To the right of the eagle stands the monogram ΠA, identifying the mint officina or control mark. Surrounding the entire design is a circular Greek legend reading ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ (of King Ptolemy), inscribed within the beaded border of the coin. The composition follows the canonical reverse type established by Ptolemy I and maintained throughout the Ptolemaic dynasty. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cleopatra III was the dominant political force in this joint reign — she had already co-ruled with one son (Ptolemy IX) before engineering his expulsion from Egypt in 107 BC and replacing him with her younger, more malleable son Ptolemy X Alexander I. Ancient sources, particularly Justin, portray her as unusually aggressive in wielding maternal authority over the throne. The coins of this brief co-regency reflect that political instability; the pairing lasted only two years before the dynastic maneuvering resumed.
Struck at Alexandria. The series is catalogued under Svoronos 1728 with limited die variation documented.
