IX & X AE31 VF Ptolemy IX and X, Æ 31 (diobol) (17.48g) Diademed and horned head of Zeus-Ammon right. / PTOLEMAIOY BASILEWS Two eagles standing left, cornucopia symbol before. Svor. 1697 (1 example known to Svoronos). VF, rough dark tone. Later bronzes, during and after the time of Ptolemy VI, were more crudely struck on a declining obol standard which fell over decades to about 8.5 grams, or less, per obol. Flan preparation became rushed. The en chapelete method for casting bronze flans was adopted for smaller bronze denominations. Especially for the smaller denominations, engraving quality of legends and devices declined. Striking was rushed, resulting in more uneven strikes, flan cracks and other striking errors. Consistent weight standard was apparently less important than a generation before. The actual weights of coins of the same denomination vary. The combined effect is that the bronze coinage was less consistent and less attractive. Apparently, they continued to circulate, for coins of this time are often very worn. The exact relationship of the bronze denominations to each other and to the declining quality of silver tetradrachm is still debated among experts. The relations of silver to bronze supplied by Hazzard for Egypt (and presumably for Cyprus) are accepted here for Cyprus.
