[Image] [Image] ORC3612 Time of Cleopatra AE25 F/VF Cyprus, Cleopatra VII, Æ25, (5.87g) Neopaphos Mint, Cyprus, Head of Zeus-Ammon right. / RTOLEMAIOY . . . . Two eagles standing left, headdress of Isis on stand before. S7950var.; RPC Supplement mentions Paphos II; Paphos II #425-468. F / VF, dark patina, small flan split. This obol has the headdress of Isis before the two eagle (Svoronos 1843, Sear 7950), a symbol which also appears on the reverse of all the tetradrachms issued with RA mintmark after 55 BC. For many Ptolemaic coins, a single eagle meant a single ruler on the throne. If this rule applies, the issue with a single eagle should be dated 55 to 51 BC, an issue under the Romans recognizing Ptolemy XII. Nikolaou notes that the fabric of the headdress of Isis issues appear later than other half-units, and she assigns the two-eagle examples to the reign of Cleopatra VII. Those with a pair of eagles are from a period when two rulers occupied the throne, presumably Cleopatra and a co-ruler. The headdress of Isis symbol issue is thinner and lighter than the other half-units, which suggests that it may be later. On other obols, the KYRP Cyprus monogram, as on the full-unit, appears at the right. A scepter (?) and a transverse palm branch of Victory appear behind the eagle. This connects the issue to the tetradrachms of Ptolemy XII to XIV and Cleopatra discussed above, which show a similar transverse palm branch and the headdress of Isis. The legend reads "Ptolemy, King" and should be connected to Ptolemy XII, and Ptolemy XIII, XIV and XV, successive co-rulers with Cleopatra VII, who never ruled in her own name alone. before you bid, if you have a question about this item. to see ALL the items in this sale and how to pay if you win ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Jan-19-02 at 13:14:03 PST, seller added the following information: [Click on the link below to visit my web-page!] [Click and visit my ReliableMerchants web-page!] ReliableMerchants © "Reliable Merchants" [Image] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Image] Checkout ORC3612 Time of Cleopatra AE25 F/VF [Image] How Checkout Helps Item # 1324540838 You [Image] Checkout lets you pay U.S. Shipping and Handling $0.00 your seller quickly Shipping Insurance per item - and easily.
