Comment
References: Butcher, p. 405, 11; Weiser 1. This anepigraphic coin is traditionally attributed to Nectanebo II of Egypt and considered the only Pharaonic coin issued in bronze, but it has also been theorized that it may originate from the Levantine area in the 3rd century as most specimens are found outside the territories of Egypt.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Nectanebo II, who was the last native pharaoh to rule ancient Egypt before the Persian conquest.
