Hello,
I recently found this coin and would like some help identifying it. Could someone help me determine the period it belongs to? If anyone has a better-preserved example, I would appreciate seeing it for comparison.
Egypt (ancient) › Ptolemaic Kingdom • Attic drachm (circa 323 – 306 BC)
Try to find under this in numista catalog
Thank you very much. I also thought it was from that period..But I cant find the exact same one. I would like to know exactly which one this is. Thank you in any case.

I have a better version now that I have cleaned it. Can someone save me the trouble and tell me what this says around the edges?
Hi Isacc. This one is going to be difficult since it has so much more wear on it. It's possible that it may not even be on Numista.
I would recommend measuring the diameter of your coin and then comparing it to documented images from NGC for this time period:
I noticed that you said in your most recent posting: "Can someone save me the trouble . . ." I just want to humbly point out that everyone on this platform volunteers their time to help. We aren't paid to spend hours researching your coin for you (which is exactly what this one might take). Sometimes the best we can do is point you in the right direction. I hope this helps.
