<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 24700917, member: 26302"]Cleo VII portrait coins are pricey today. Like JC portrait coins, they have went up much faster in the last 20 years than most other ancients. The largest is the tetradrachm from Antioch with Antony on the other side. Next most desirable is the denarius with same portraits from Alexandria. Then there are the 40 and 80 pieces like above. There are also some provincial bronzes, some with Antony on reverse, others without. I am not convinced the "portrait" coin from Cyprus is her, only one book ever claimed it was, and most experts do not believe it. There is an issue of hers with Zeus on it from Cyprus but not her portrait. There are other coins like the tetradrachm you show, but most of her coins without a portrait are priced based upon normal economics, its really only ones with her portrait that bring the huge premiums.</p><p><br /></p><p>I accidentally got into her coins, but have I think 6 unique portrait coins of hers.
