KI-gestützte Zusammenfassung
Vom Verkäufer bereitgestellte Beschreibung
The Touch of History – Cleopatra VII (51–30 BC) 40 Drachmai Bronze, Alexandria
Classic Ancient Lot: Ptolemaic Kingdom, Cleopatra VII Thea Neotera. Æ Obol / 40 Drachmai (20mm, 6,92 g). Alexandria mint.
This bronze coin represents a direct, tactile connection to one of the most famous and turbulent eras of ancient history, and to its most iconic figure: Cleopatra VII, the last Pharaoh of Egypt. This is not a posthumous issue; this coin changed hands in the markets of Alexandria during the very years when Julius Caesar and Mark Antony walked its streets.
Historical and Numismatic Significance
The True Cleopatra: The obverse features the diademed and draped bust of Cleopatra. Following the traditions of Hellenistic royal portraiture, this depiction shows the queen's true, resolute (Ptolemaic) features, contrasting sharply with the romanticized ideals of later eras.
The Reverse and Denomination: The reverse displays the symbol of the Ptolemaic dynasty: an eagle standing on a thunderbolt, accompanied by a cornucopia. The letter "M" to the right of the eagle is crucial: in the Greek numeral system, it represents 40, denoting the coin's value of 40 drachmai.
Historical Condition (Fair): The coin is heavily circulated, grading "Fair".
Provenance:
Ex-private collection
