Commentary


Même coin de droit que les exemplaires du trésor de Meydancikkale (Gülnar II, n° 3438-3439, pl. 107). Précédemment, ce type était attribué à Ptolémée Ier. C’est l’une des premières émissions pour Ptolémée II. Très belle expression de visage.
Same obverse die as the examples from the Meydancikkale treasure (Gülnar II, no. 3438-3439, pl. 107). Previously, this type was attributed to Ptolemy I. This is one of the first issues for Ptolemy II. Very beautiful facial expression
