| Reverse description | An eagle with closed wings stands left upon a thunderbolt, the primary dynastic emblem of the Ptolemaic coinage. The eagle is depicted in a powerful, static pose with talons gripping the thunderbolt firmly. The legend ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ (of King Ptolemy) is distributed in the field, with the mint control monogram ΠΑΡ appearing in the left field. The composition reflects the established reverse type introduced with the second monetary reform of Ptolemy I. |
