Cyprus?

« on: January 21, 2021, 09:11:06 am »

I've had this for a while and my interest was sparked again when learning about some early Judaean coinage and the use of anchors there. This coin features an anchor on obverse and double axe (Labrys) on reverse. The only listings I found were here: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1976020 and here: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7197091

Cyprus, Salamis Æ14. Evagoras, II, circa 361-351 BC. Anchor / Labrys. Tziambazis Suppl. 32; CCS 113.

Coin weights 1.70g.

I think it is indeed from Cyprus--though note the wide variations in style on these three issues. Thoughts? Perhaps someone more familiar with Cypriot bronzes could weigh in. Did many rulers issue this design?
