Well, as a second addition to my coins from the Ptolemaic Kingdom collection that I have recently started as a foray into Greek Egypt, I picked up this little dude. An AE27 from Ptolemy VI, 180 - 145BC. A nice rendering of Zeus/Alexander on the obverse. The reverse has the eagle motif so popular with the Ptolemies. This coin was harshly cleaned at some point, but it was a super bargain and needed a home next to my other Ptolemy.
Zeus!
Eagles!
Just thought you folks might like on a Sunday night.
