Only one specimen was found in the excavations at Curium. Cox attributes the type to Paphos, dates it 114 - 80 B.C., and notes, "unpublished (?)." Matt Kreuzer, author of "The Coinage System of Cleopatra VII and Augustus in Cyprus," attributes the type to Cleopatra VII with one of her two successive brother-husbands, Ptolemy XIII or XIV, less likely her son Ptolemy XV.
