Will the real Zeus Salaminios please stand up?
A simple test will measure your abilitiy to select the proper coin for import restriction. The recently approved import restrictions on coins of Cypriot Types include the following: 3. Provincial and local issues of the Roman period from c. 30 B.C. to 235 A.D. Often these have a bust or head on one side and the image of a temple (the Temple of Aphrodite at Palaipaphos) or statue (statue of Zeus Salaminios) on the other. The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol is now tasked to identify and detain such coins to assure that they have not been imported into the United States in violation of this agreement.
