Ptolemaic Kings of Egypt Syria Damaskos (Damascus) Cleopatra VII 51-30 B.C. AE22 Fine -- #AC106811

Turreted Tyche of Damascus seated on rock l., extending r. hand and holding cornucopia in l., river god Chrysorrhoas swimming r. at her feet; LPS (date) over aphlaston to l.; all within wreath.
DAMASKHNWN CPE B844; RPC I 4783 Fine. Rare. Dark brown patina with some earthen fill. Moderate roughness. This rare issue struck in Cleopatra VII's image was produced at Damascus for a single year. While this example has some roughness, the date, aphlaston symbol, and much of the legend are clear. The Ptolemaic province of Syria and Phoenicia was gifted by Mark Antony to Kleopatra VII Thea Neotera in the winter of 37-36 B.C. but she is not known to have controlled Damascus. As such, her Damascene issues are still not fully understood.

Ptolemaic Cyprus temp. Ptolemy VIII to Cleopatra VII ca. mid 2nd-1st Centuries B.C. Chalkous VF -- #AC105886
AE Chalkous 11mm. 1.95g. Paphos Mint Draped bust of Aphrodite Paphia r., wearing stephane.
Narrow double cornucopiae, ends of diadem falling on r.
BASILEWS PTOLEMAIOU CPE B722; Svoronos 1160 VF. Dark green patina. Typical light porosity. Tiny scratches on reverse. An earlier type with straight edges and neater style, as opposed to the more crudely cast beveled flans of later issues. 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.
