This coin was underwater for a couple of millennia and had distracting 
deposits 
which professional conservators (NCS) removed.  I photographed it before and 
after.

Ptolemy IV, ruled 221-205 BC, portrait of Arsinoe III as Arsinoe II.

The images are clickable, the photos were taken months apart and the "after" 
images had more diffusion in the light path.
