| Reverse description | Two cornucopias crossed and bound together at their bases with a fillet, their mouths spilling upward and outward in a symmetrical composition emblematic of royal abundance and prosperity. The ΚΥΠΡ monogram, identifying the island of Cyprus as the issuing authority, is prominently placed in the right field. The reverse legend arcs around the periphery in Greek characters. The design follows the standard Ptolemaic reverse type employing the double cornucopia motif, here adapted for the Cypriot mint under Cleopatra VII's administration. |
