Diademed head of Ptolemy I right, aegis around neck / Eagle standing left on thunderbolt; LΓ to left. Svoronos –; Olivier 2929–30 (Ptolemy V); SNG Copenhagen –; DCA2 1092. Horn silver deposits, cleaning scratches, areas of roughness. VF. Very rare.

As noted in CPE, both Mørkholm and Olivier attributed this issue to Ptolemy V in 203/2 BC, but more recent hoard evidence suggests an earlier date for the issue.
