背面描述	An eagle with closed wings stands in left profile atop a thunderbolt, a canonical symbol of Ptolemaic royal authority. The mintmark ΣΙ (denoting the Sidon mint) appears between the eagle's legs. The dynastic legend ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ flanks the central device, distributed in the left and right fields. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded (dotted) border.

附加信息	Ptolemy V came to the throne as a child of five following the deaths of both parents in quick succession — circumstances suspicious enough that Roman senators publicly accused the court of foul play. The Sidon mint, operating under Ptolemaic control after the kingdom's seizure of Coele-Syria, produced this issue as part of a broader monetary consolidation during a reign defined almost entirely by regency councils and foreign intervention. The 198 BC Battle of Panium ended Ptolemaic control of Coele-Syria permanently, handing the region to Antiochus III. Sidon mint output under Ptolemaic authority thus carries an implicit terminus tied directly to that military collapse.
