| Lot description: Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, temp. Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II (Physcon) Æ 11mm. Uncertain mint on Cyprus(?), circa 145-116 BC. Head of female (Aphrodite or Arsinoe III?) to right / [ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ], double cornucopiae tied with fillets. Svoronos 1160 (Ptolemy IV); SNG Copenhagen 648. 1.76g, 11mm, 2h. Near Very Fine. From the Pavlos S. Pavlou Collection, collector's ticket included; Privately purchased from Lennox Gallery, January 1996. Catharine Lorber has suggested that the usual attribution to Ptolemy IV is too early due to numerous examples of this type found in the excavations at Nea Paphos which indicates that the issue was later, possibly 2nd-1st century BC. Estimate: 30 GBP |  |
