"Although the coin has Greek lettering it is actually an Egyptian coin. When Alexander died he gave Egypt to General Ptolemy who then handed it down through the family. Bronze coin issued by Ptolemy III depicting (obverse) Zeus-Amun and (reverse) the traditional Ptolemaic eagle. Ptolemy III did not issue coins with his own image, c. 225 BC"

Mags, this is proof positive the coin is older than DW and Elson combined!
