34/32 B.C. Cleopatra & Marc Antony Denarius NGC Ch VF Star

Rare, Amazing Two-Headed Coin of Cleopatra and Marc Antony – Over 95 Years of Pedigree

In the past, coins have been rated by their rarity and grade. And while these things are still incredibly important to a coin’s collector value, there’s been a shift in the coin world recently – one where the pedigree of ancient coins takes center stage.

Take, for example, this incredible two-headed Cleopatra/Marc Antony silver Denarius minted in Alexandria, Egypt in 34/32, B.C. It’s already an incredible find – a rare coin that outshines many other Cleopatra coins in terms of condition. While most coins of Cleopatra are in very poor condition, this piece has garnered a grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) of Choice Very Fine (Ch VF) with a special Star designation and a 4/5 Strike designation and a 5/5 Surface grade.

But what truly sets this coin apart from its peers is its pedigree. This coin has been featured as a “Plate Coin” in the 1924 Ratto Auction as well as Luigi Simonetti and Alberto Banti’s 1972 book Corpus Nummorum Romanorum. Plate Coins are those of such quality and beauty that their photo is published in an authoritative academic book on a particular type of ancient coin. When it comes to the two-headed coin of Cleopatra and Marc Antony, then, it is this specific coin that is held in such high regard.

The mere mention of the name “Cleopatra” conjures up images of the last Egyptian queen’s epic romances with Caesar and Mac Antony. The last of the Ptolemaic rulers descended from the days when Alexander the Great conquered Egypt, Cleopatra has been immortalized for her beauty, statesmanship and her tragic fall from power. She’s been portrayed by such legendary film icons as Theda Bara, Claudette Colbert, Vivien Leigh and, most famously, by Elizabeth Taylor opposite Richard Burton’s Marc Antony.
