Ptolemy IV, Egypt, 221-205 BC. AE 15mm, 3.47g. Obv: Helmeted bust of a beardless male right Rev: BASILEWS PTOLEMAIOU, Eagle standing left on thunderbolt, wings closed, filleted cornucopiae at shoulder Svoronos 1155, SNGCop 235; Rare An interesting mystery bust that I have not seen any real explanations for. The majority of the overse busts on AE coins of Ptolemy IV are that of Zeus Ammon. Struck during the reign of Ptolemy IV, who ruled the Ptolemaic kingdom from This coin is pleasing in hand. The scanner made the edge look sort of green, almost like it has bronze disease. Courtesy of Romae Aeternae Numismatics, July 2010. http://stores.ebay.com/Romae-Aeternae-Numismatics_Greek-Coins
