Chociaż czasami przypisuje się je Ptolemeuszowi IV, większość autorytetów zgadza się obecnie, że monety te pochodzą z wczesnej części panowania Ptolemeusza III. Tetrobol z monogramem "E" jest szczególnie obfity, będąc jedną z najczęstszych starożytnych greckich monet z brązu. Istnieje wiele odmian, nie tylko pod względem szczegółów projektu, ale także średnicy, która może wynosić od 36 mm do 40 mm. Waga powinna wynosić około 45 gramów lub więcej. Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Although sometimes attributed to Ptolemy IV, most authorities now agree that these coins date to the early part of the reign of Ptolemy III. The Tetrobol denomination with the "E" monogram is particularly plentiful, being one of the most common ancient Greek bronze coins. Many variations exist, not only in design details but also in diameter, which can range from 36mm to 40mm. Weight should be in the region of 45 grams or higher.
