<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2173364, member: 72818&quot;]The first one to my mind--at least of some rarity and not just a worn, environmentally damaged &#039;common&#039; type (of which I have more than a few, unfortunately) is the following; arguably Cleopatra III:</p><p><br /></p><p>Bronze dichalkon. Kreutzer Pg 44: Svoronos 1160 (Ptolemy IV); SNG Cop 649; Weiser- aF, Paphos Mint, 1.24 grams, 10.5 MM</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: Diademed bust of Cleopatra VII as Isis right, hair in melon-coiffure;</p><p>Reverse:&#039;PTOLEMAIOU- BASILEWS&#039;, double cornucopia flanked by ribbons...</p><p><br /></p><p>RE: FORUM: &quot; Kreutzer, in his book &#039;The Coinage System of Cleopatra VII and Augustus in Cyprus&#039;, assembles evidence dating this type to Cleopatra VII instead of the reign of Ptolemy IV used in older references.&quot;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]419912[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
