Coins of the Ancient Egyptians - Ptolemaic Dynasty: 323 to 30 BC

 

A coin produced early in the reign of Ptolemy VI (180-170 BC)

This website gives a convincing answer to the question   "Why did the Ptolemaic mint place the image of two eagles on so many of its bronze coins?"

Based on countermarks, coin types and coin hoards, this website corrects a recently published faulty attribution for coins of Ptolemy VI.

 

This website shows that two types of Cypriot bronze coins frequently attributed to Ptolemy XII (80-51 BC) were clearly issued by his daughter Cleopatra VII and her co-regent Caesarion (44-30 BC).
