Some of them were represented with Zeus-Ammon and the double eagles type of with the cornucopia with the epithet PTOAEMAIOU BASELWS have never been published. The scholars have different opinions regarding this type of representation. This research aims to explain the significance of eagle on Ptolemaic coins preserved in NEMC by exanimating and comparing these pieces with other collections with the same representation.
