Coinzguy Valued Member United States 153 Posts	Posted 03/25/2018 11:54 pm That certainly is possible, but that does narrow things down quite a bit. Doesn't the obverse look a bit like this one, with the shape of the coin being similar as well? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ptolemaic-...!22042!US!-1 Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3442 Posts	Posted 03/26/2018 08:52 am Nice looking Ptolemaic bronze. Decent size and good 'eye appeal' Surfaces are a bit rough but it has the type of patination that is nearly impossible to fake. I would put that thought in the .001% range. Great coin to begin the task of assembling a few Ptolemy's ! Some of the bronzes can be very impressive and come at a weapon sized 45mm and up ! I have a real "fatso" that clears the 99 gram mark. Another one came in just a few days ago a mere 2 grams ! Well worth the price. Report this Post to the Staff
