I know it's a Ptolemaic coin but am stumped as to which ruler it is. I hope there is enough detail to figure it out! Weighs 18.2g and is 26mm diameter. So this next coin is Gordian III. Is this the exact coin? Not sure if there are varieties or anything! Weighs 18.2g and 29mm diameter http://coinproject.com/coin_detail.php?coin=184569 Edited by Spartcom5 07/12/2017 02:53 am Report this Post to the Staff

See the "Ptolemy II - Sicily & Syracuse - Pre-Reform ca. 270-260BC" section at ptolemybronze for reference: http://ptolemybronze.com/ptolemy_series.html Similar to: Report this Post to the Staff

There you will find a lot of reference material that will help ID your coins. Report this Post to the Staff
