ORC0826 Cleopatra VII, AE24 ctmk. portrait VF

Antioch, Syria, Æ24, (11.67g) Diademed head of Zeus right, countermark of
head of Cleopatra VII right. / Zeus seated left. RPC 4216, 4218-4221,
4223-4225. Coin and countermark VF, brown patina.

RPC notes this countermark as "Head of Apollo", but certainly a female is
intended. The bun behind the head, and the piece of hair dangling behind
the neck are similar to portrait coins of Cleopatra from Chalkis, Cyprus
and the tetradrachms from Syria. Perhaps these are from the same mint which
produced the Cleopatra / Antony tetradrachms.
