<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 5161699, member: 93702&quot;]Well - from Cyprus .. that is for sure. What you want to believe from the &quot;attribution&quot; below is up to you... it came with the coin - and for a few bucks.. why not? Its pretty cool! One I love.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1210030[/ATTACH]</p><p>Cleopatra VII hemiobol. Laureate head of Zeus. Statue of Zeus Salaminos standing, holding stalks of grain, star above. Paphos mint c. 35 BC. 3.15g. Nicolaou, Paphos II, 469-509 Cox, Exc. at Curium 128 Museum of the History of Cypriot Coinage ch. 11, 35. Ex-Taters, Ex-Savuto collection. Notes from Forum: While not noted in Svoronos, this type is fairly common on Cyprus and many have been found in the excavations at Neopaphos. The lack of a central depression indicates they were struck after 96 B.C. Recent Cypriot numismatic publications date them to the time when Cleopatra VII of Egypt was the ruler of the island.<b> - how cool is that?</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Next: Another coin from Cyprus[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
