Draped and diademed bust of Cleopatra VII right / ΠTOΛEMAIOY BAΣIΛEΩΣ, cornucopia. 12mm, 1.29 grams. Paphos mint. Svoronos 1160.

Small denomination, 1/4 obol. Nice example, better than the photo, with a decent portrait of the famous queen.

Kreuzer, in his book The Coinage System of Cleopatra VII and Augustus in Cyprus, assembles evidence pointing towards a later date for the small Ptolemaic bronzes in circulation on Cyprus, attributing them to Cleopatra VII, rather than the time of Ptolemy IV and Arsinoë III. The evidence includes the discovery of a Ptolemaic mint at Paphos, striking these small coins at the very end of the Ptolemaic period.
