CLEOPATRA and MARC ANTONY. AR Denarius (3.70 gms), Alexandria Mint, 34 B.C. NGC VF, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 2/5. Bankers' Marks.
Cr-543/1; Syd-1210; CRI-345. Obverse: Bare head of Mark Antony right; four-pointed Armenian tiara to left; Reverse: Diademed and draped bust of Cleopatra right; stem of prow to right. Some bankers' marks and light handling are observed, but this charming example nevertheless offers great portraits of this ancient power couple just a few years before their disastrous Battle of Actium against the forces of Octavian, later Augustus. Lightly toned, with some golden-orange hints highlighting the portraits.
Estimate: $5000 - $10000
