| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed head of Ptolemy I Soter facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition with finely detailed curling hair and an idealized, powerful physiognomy. The diadem is rendered as a broad band tied at the nape, with ends trailing behind the neck. At the lower neck, the characteristic aegis — a scaly divine garment often associated with Zeus and Athena — is prominently displayed, serving as a divine attribute of royal legitimacy. The portrait is set within a dotted border visible along the right rim, and occupies the full flan in high, well-modelled relief characteristic of Alexandrian mint production. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A majestic eagle with closed wings stands in left profile upon a thunderbolt, the bird's powerful form rendered in fine detail with individually articulated feathers across the breast and folded wings. The eagle's head is turned slightly inward, and its talons grip the thunderbolt firmly, symbolising the divine authority of Zeus as patron of the Ptolemaic dynasty. The Greek legend ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ — meaning 'of King Ptolemy' — encircles the field in two columns flanking the eagle, with ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ to the left and ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ to the right, all within a continuous dotted border. The reverse field is broad and well-struck, consistent with the standard Ptolemaic tetradrachm type produced at the Alexandria mint. |
