Alexandria mint. Struck circa 266/5 BC. Diademed head of Zeus Ammon right, within border of dots / BASILEWS PTOLEMAIOU. Eagle standing left on thunderbolt.

Another coin I am glad I bought when they were affordable.

cool how much did u get it for?

I bought it when I was in HS, I think I paid about $35 for it, now about $300-400 is what it would go for.

cool i have 3 ancient middle eastern coins that i cant identify but the problem is i dont have a cam to post em on the site and there is no pic of them on the net except 1 i found but the guy who owned the coin also didnt know what it was.as far as i know they maybe from the abbasied dynasty(tnx for my granmas info).

Nice! The large coins are always in demand, people just like heft.

I am wondering whats the weight for this coin???
I belive for 46mm it should be around 90gms, I bought few months a go awhole Hoard of them and they are realy nice coins.
