Since Ptolemy IV portraits on silver tetradrachms show a ruler whose genetic contribution from big-chinned Ptolemy I Soter was twice that of Ptolemy XII, the comparison of chin strength between Ptolemy IV and Ptolemy XII is similar, while at some distance from the really big chin of Ptolemy I Soter.
Indeed the tetradrachms of Ptolemy XII bear a strong resemblance to the known coin portraits of his daughter Cleopatra, who had nearly the same genetic make-up over generations as her father-uncle.
Newell notes of Ptolemy XII tetradrachms, "His issues, while still of fairly good quality of silver, are distinguishable from those of his predecessors by their somewhat smaller diameter and the roughness and poorness of their style." An examination of obverse dies could help to differentiate these similar issues.
