| Beschrijving voorzijde | Veiled and diademed bust of Arsinoe II Philadelphos facing right, her hair arranged in a melon coiffure with a stephane visible beneath a fine veil that falls in elegant vertical folds over the shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the refined Hellenistic court style, with idealized facial features characteristic of Ptolemaic royal portraiture. The Greek control letter Κ appears in the left field. The coin's periphery is bordered by a beaded circle. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The overlap in this type's date range — 169 to 116 BC — spans one of the most dysfunctional royal arrangements in Ptolemaic history. Following the Sixth Syrian War and Rome's humiliating expulsion of Antiochus IV from Egypt in 168 BC, the brothers Ptolemy VI and Ptolemy VIII were compelled by Roman arbitration to share the kingdom, an arrangement both despised. Ptolemy VIII eventually seized sole power in 145 BC after his brother's death in Syria.
Alexandreia remained the primary mint throughout, its output relatively consistent despite the political turbulence above it.
