| Reversbeschreibung | A large eagle with closed wings stands in left profile atop a thunderbolt, the central and enduring reverse type of Ptolemaic coinage first introduced under Ptolemy I. The bird is rendered with detailed feathering across the breast and folded wings, its talons firmly gripping the thunderbolt below. To the left of the eagle appears the regnal date LH (Year 8), and to the right the mint control mark ΠA, identifying the Alexandria mint. The circular Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ runs around the periphery of the field, translating as 'of King Ptolemy.' The composition is bold and confidently struck, occupying the full flan in the characteristic Ptolemaic style. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Ptolemy IX's reign was among the most unstable of the late Ptolemaic dynasty — he was expelled from Egypt by his own mother, Cleopatra III, in 107 BC, forcing him into a lengthy exile ruling Cyprus instead. This tetradrachm, struck just two years before that ejection, belongs to a politically convulsive window when mother and son were already in open conflict over control of the kingdom. Cleopatra III would go on to formally install his younger brother Ptolemy X Alexander I as co-ruler, effectively using him as a weapon against her elder son.
Svoronos 1669 places this issue within the Alexandrian mint sequence, where output remained high despite the dynastic turmoil above it.
