Very Fine. Extremely Rare example, overstruck on a Seleukid host of Apollo on omphalos type.
CPE cites one other example (from the same collection as this current piece) which is overstruck on a Seleukid type. From that specimen Lorber was able to suggest a potential dating of after 261 BC for the Berenike coinage based on the condition of the undertype which had clearly circulated for a time before being overstruck.

A group of coins have been linked together on the PtolemAE Project site due to the double eagle on the reverse, stylistic similarities, their peculiar 'knife-edge' fabric and the variety of symbols present on the reverse. They have been dated to the time of Ptolemy IX-X, in part, since the two rulers are known to have utilised a large number of unusual symbols in a short time.
