ORC9925 Time of Cleopatra, AE28, VF

   Time of Cleopatra VII, AE28 (diobol) (14.38g) Very crude head of Zeus
   right. / Crude Greek legend, "Ptolemy King" Two eagles standing.
   Svor. 1917 (Cleopatra and co-rulers). Crude VF, dark patina.

A definite line does not exist between issues of Ptolemaic Cyprus    [ ]
   that are imitative and those that are produced by sloppy official
   mints. Certainly this example is among the crudest. Paphos II
   references the findings of Limestone coin casting molds at various
   locations. This indicates that the monopoly on coin production may
   have been shared widely.

   The weight standard of this issue is about 7.2 g / obol. This
   standard was used during the reign of Cleopatra VII and her
   co-rulers, Ptolemy XIII to XV.
