Octobole coin

I am requesting assistance identifying a Ptolemaic bronze coin.
Weight: 91.0 g
Diameter: 42 mm
Obverse: Zeus-Ammon head
Reverse: Two eagles standing left on thunderbolt
The type appears to belong to the Ptolemy II “two eagles” series (Module B), however all published references (CPE / PCO / Svoronos) list this denomination at 62–78 g.
I have not found any published example of this type exceeding 90 g.
Could this represent an overweight flan, an unpublished variant, or a misattributed module?
Any reference (CPE / Svoronos / hoard parallels) would be greatly appreciated.

(I haven’t cleaned the other side btw)

Hi guys

It weighs 91 or 92 grams

Double eagle facing to the left

Reverse is zeus

I looked up the double eagle coinage (octobol)

No where to be found with two eagles and the weight is 92 grams

At most 78 grams

Any idea what is it ? And what is it worth give or take

I haven’t cleaned the first side )))im afraid it might be very rare XD

Thank you guys.
