Ptolemaic Cyprus temp. Ptolemy VIII to Cleopatra VII ca. mid 2nd-1st Centuries B.C. Chalkous VF -- #AC108989
AE Chalkous 11mm. 1.33g. Paphos Mint Small draped bust of Aphrodite Paphia r., wearing stephane.
Single cornucopiae, diadem ends to each side; dotted border.
BASILEWS PTOLEMAIOU CPE B733; Svoronos 1161 VF. Black patina. Nice little portrait profile. Off center. Weak reverse. Light porosity. This type was once attributed to Ptolemy IV when it was believed to portray Arsinoe III. Later scholarship determined that the coin may portray Cleopatra VII, but that assertion has now been refuted. The abundance of these coins found on Cyprus and the lack of similarity to Cleopatra's typical portraits have led Lorber to reattribute the female portrait to Aphrodite of Paphos.
