| 正面描述 | Diademed and draped bust of Ptolemy I Soter facing right, wearing the royal diadem with flowing ends visible behind the neck. The portrait features strong, idealized Hellenistic facial characteristics with a prominent nose and firm jaw, rendered in high relief. A dotted border encircles the coin's rim. The effigy is rendered in the late fourth- to early third-century Alexandrian style, showing influence of both Macedonian royal portraiture and Egyptian artistic convention. |

| 背面描述 | Eagle with closed wings standing left upon a thunderbolt, rendered with sharp feather detail and characteristic Ptolemaic heraldic authority. The bird's head is turned slightly downward, talons gripping the thunderbolt firmly, which is depicted horizontally beneath its feet. In the left field, a control letter is visible. The Greek royal legend is distributed around the field, with ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ to the left and ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ to the right, meaning 'of King Ptolemy.' The composition is bold and symmetrical, befitting the prestige denomination of the Ptolemaic monetary system. |

Ptolemy I spent decades carefully constructing a divine persona for Alexander the Great — and then, just as deliberately, dismantled it in favor of his own. The shift to a coinage bearing his own portrait rather than Alexander's was a calculated political act, one of the first times a living Macedonian ruler placed himself on his own coins. This issue dates to the final decade of his reign, after he had already abdicated in favor of his son Ptolemy II in 285 BC, yet retained the title Soter awarded to him by the Rhodians for his relief of their siege in 304 BC.
The Alexandrian mint controlled output tightly; the die references in Svoronos remain the primary tool for sequencing these late issues.
