Hello everyone,
I would greatly appreciate your help in identifying this silver tetradrachm from the Ptolemaic Kingdom, which I believe to be from the reign of Ptolemy V Epiphanes Philopator (204–180 BC).
Details:
• Metal: silver
• Weight: 17.44 g
• Greek legend: ΠTOΛEMAIOY ΦIΛOΠATOPOΣ
• Field letters: visible (possibly ΣΑ – confirmation appreciated)
This type might belong to an Alexandrian issue, though other mints such as Ptolemais or Cyrene may be possible depending on the monogram.
I would be grateful for your insight on the following:
1. Can you confirm the attribution to Ptolemy V Philopator?
2. Do you know the exact reference in Svoronos, SNG, or other corpuses?
3. Based on the images, do you believe the coin to be authentic?
Thank you in advance for your kind assistance and expertise.
