A 2,000 year-old silver coin finally unveils the true looks of the most famous Egyptian Queen Cleopatra which was always portrayed by a beautiful woman such as Elizabeth Taylor that had a pointed chin,thin lips and sharp nose.
The tiny coin has a size of a modern 5p piece (18mm or 0.7in),the artifact is from 32BC and was in a collection belonging to the Society of Antiquaries of New Castle which was studied by the experts at the New Castle University.
The Image of Cleopatra as a beautiful and seductress seems to be a false description as shown in the Coin .
The university's director of archaeological museums, Lindsay Allason-Jones, said: "The image on the coin is far from being that of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
"Roman writers tell us that Cleopatra was intelligent and charismatic, and that she had a seductive voice but, tellingly, they do not mention her beauty.
The coin has two different side featuring Mark Anthony and Cleopatra
On one side is the head of Mark Antony, bearing the caption "Antoni Armenia devicta" meaning "For Antony, Armenia having been vanquished".
Cleopatra appears on the reverse of the coin with the inscription "Cleopatra Reginae regum filiorumque regum", meaning "For Cleopatra, Queen of kings and of the children of kings".
Based from the coin's image of Cleopatra, she has a big nose,chubby face and a big mouth.
