This just arrived in the mail, I'm very pleased with it. For 60$ I feel like I got a bargain, in hand the color is not nearly as orange as in the picture and is just a soft brown overall.

I love these big Ptolemy bronzes. Yours has an especially nice portrait. A bargain indeed. Congrats.

Great portrait. I love these coins. I only have the one at the moment but at 42mm it is enough.

I'm not exactly sure echizento, the reverse is pretty beat up, I can't see the letter under the eagles tail, even with reading glasses on. but under the shield I believe I can make out a delta.
