<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1934 Wreath Crown, post: 4774355, member: 76965&quot;]I&#039;m not going to write very much about these two historical figures, mainly because I can&#039;t add much to what hasn&#039;t already been discussed here many times before. Both very recognisable images but ones that I&#039;ve been after for a while:</p><p><br /></p><p>Cleopatra VII (Of Julius Caesar and Marc Antony fame) 80 drachmae. I thought it had a nice portrait.......or what&#039;s left of it. Better details, on obverse and reverse, than my 40 drachmae.</p><p>Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, Cleopatra VII Thea Neotera Æ Diobol - 80 Drachmai. Alexandria, 51-30 BC. Diademed and draped bust right / KΛEOΠATPAΣ BAΣIΛIΣΣHΣ, eagle standing left on thunderbolt; cornucopia to left, Π to right. Svoronos 1871; Weiser 183; SNG Copenhagen 419-21; Noeske 380-2. 16.52g, 26mm, 11h.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1162489[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Julius Caesar AR Denarius.
