Lot 9-048. Ptolemaic Kingdom. Ptolemy XII Neos Dionysos (Auletes). 80-58 B.C. AE dichalkon. Paphos mint.

Ptolemaic Kingdom. Ptolemy XII Neos Dionysos (Auletes). 80-58 B.C. AE dichalkon (14.7 mm, 2.33 g, 1 h). Paphos mint. Head of Zeus-Ammon right / ΠTOΛEMAIOY BAΣIΛEΩΣ, single cornucopia tied with fillet. Svoronos -. Fine, cleaned. 

This essentially unpublished type fits into the range of late Ptolemaic Cypriot small bronzes. The obverse has the usual Zeus-Ammon with the reverse has ΠTOΛEMAIOY BAΣIΛEΩΣ around a single, not double cornucopia. While not listed in Svoronos, three worn examples were found at the Paphos II dig (1.48g and 1.98g) where they were assigned to the time of Ptolemy XII. The type is consistent with the second reign of Ptolemy IX to Ptolemy XII.
