| Additional information |
Cyprus came under Kleopatra VII's direct administration following Caesar's reorganization of eastern territories after the Alexandrian War, and this issue was likely struck at Paphos to assert her authority over the island. The mint had been dormant for Ptolemaic bronze production for some years prior, making this a deliberately political resumption of coinage rather than a routine administrative act.
