Similarities between Berenice II & Arsinoe II Coins

Our first lesson today is the similarities between coins in the picture but different in contents.
We start with Ptolemaic women and of course the Greek in Egypt and a small introduction:

Berenice II: She was born around 267 BC and died 221 BC. She was the daughter of Magas of Cyrene and Queen Apama II and the wife of Ptolemy III Euergetes. It was said that she was graced and beautiful.

Arsinoe II: She was born 316 BC and died in July 221 BC. She was the daughter of Ptolemy I and Berenice I. After the death of Lysimachus in 281 BC she married her paternal half-brother Ptolemy Keraunos one of the sons of Ptolemy I from his previous wife, Eurydice of Egypt. The marriage was for political reasons as they both claimed the throne of Macedonia and Thrace and then she married her brother Ptolemy II 279 BC and she never had children from him. But Ptolemy II made her a godess and names many cities in Egypt in her name.

Now we will introduce the gold and silver coins for both and describe each one.
