| Reverse description | An eagle with folded wings stands in left profile upon a thunderbolt, the sacred bird of Zeus serving as the emblematic reverse type of Ptolemaic tetradrachms. The plumage is rendered in careful stippled relief, with the powerful talons gripping the thunderbolt clearly delineated. To the left of the eagle appears the regnal year date LK (Year 20), and to the right the mint control letters ΠA. The Greek royal legend BAΣIΛEΩΣ ΠTOΛEMAIOY arcs around the field, identifying the issuing authority as King Ptolemy. |
