This Ptolemaic Kingdom bronze coin (285–246 BC) was struck during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus, a ruler known for expanding Egypt’s wealth and cultural influence. The obverse bears the laureate head of Zeus-Ammon, blending Greek and Egyptian religious iconography to emphasize divine kingship. On the reverse, the eagle of Zeus stands proudly on a thunderbolt, a symbol of power and royal authority throughout the Ptolemaic era. Graded by NGC, this coin is a remarkable example of Hellenistic artistry and dynastic symbolism from ancient Egypt.
