| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bearded head of Zeus-Ammon in right profile, rendered in bold high relief with expressive Hellenistic modeling. The deity wears a taenia (fillet) surmounted by the basileion, the distinctive ram-horned crown of Ammon, whose curling horn is prominently visible above the brow. The flowing locks of the beard and hair are rendered in deeply cut, naturalistic waves, framing the powerful profile. A dotted border encircles the upper field. No legend appears on the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ptolemy III inherited a kingdom already dominant in the eastern Mediterranean and promptly made it larger, launching the Third Syrian War within months of his accession and pushing Seleucid forces back to Mesopotamia — the furthest west Egyptian arms had reached since the pharaohs. The bronze coinage struck under his reign was produced in volume to support these campaigns and the administration of a vastly extended territory, including briefly held portions of Syria and parts of the Aegean coast.
The Lorber 1.2 classification places this piece within a tightly sequenced die study that has substantially revised older Svoronos attributions for the period.
