Hello,

I have seen a tetradrachm of Ptolemaic Kingdom but I have failed to identify the king who minted this coin ?
At the reverse, there is the eagle but with and object under its wing that I cannot identify too ... I tried to find the same coin, but without success.
Coud you help me ?
Thank you in advance.

Hello again,

Yesterday, I found something about the unusual reverse.  This is not the same coin, but the reverse of the coin on the bottom shows the eagle with a scepter under its left wing too. The obverse at the contrary looks like the obverse of the coin on the top. So, the coin would be the combination of both ?

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Hello,

Thank you for this reply. After deep research, I think that the reference of the coin is : Svoronos 1494a.
