| Reverse description | An eagle with closed wings stands in left profile upon a thunderbolt, its head reverted to the right in the canonical Ptolemaic type. A cornucopia (horn of plenty), bound with the royal diadem, rests upon the eagle's left shoulder, serving as a dynastic emblem. The Greek legend ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ, meaning 'of King Ptolemy,' is arranged in two lines flanking the eagle in the field. A letter E appears to the right of the legend, likely serving as a control mark or regnal indicator. |
