I was going through a box of stuff I had packed away before our last move and came across an old coin a co-worker had given to me years ago. It came in an envelope with the following written on it:

Ptolemy III
Tyre Mint
OBV: Head of Zeus Right
REV: Eagle on Thunderbolt Right, Club in Field
AE16
2.70 gm


Pictures are posted below and I'd love some more information about this coin if anybody knows anything. For example:

1. Is this authentic?
2. Is the information on the envelope accurate?
3. What is this coin made of?
4. What condition would this be considered?
5. What is this likely to be worth?
6. Anything else I should know about it?

Thanks!

The above will tell you more than you want to know. About 1/3 of the way down under the Ptomemy III Tyre Club Series look for Sv711.

Yes, Yes, Bronze, F-VF (pretty nice, actually), not a lot - the larger ones are much more popular - $20?,
