Ex Numismatica Ars Classica Auction 29 (11 May 2005) Lot #238 listed as &quot;Ptolemy IV Philopator, 221-205 No 238.&quot; See <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=222012" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=222012" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=222012</a> [07 Feb 2021] weight recorded there as 14.12 g. From the sale catalog: &quot;After years of mint inactivity, coinage resumed on Cyprus about 192 BC as part of a policy to have the island take over the functions of the lost province of Syria and Phoenicia. Like most of the former Syro-Phoenician coinage, the new Cypriote coinage was dated. Mørkholm and Kromann did not record a Salaminian tetradrachm issue for year 5 of the joint reign of Ptolemy VI and VIII. The portrait of </font>Ptolemy Soter on this tetradrachm is of the finest idealizing style of Cyprus.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>- Broucheion[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
