| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bearded head of Herakles facing right, clad in the lion's skin headdress with the scalp and jaws of the Nemean lion visible over the crown of the head. The facial features are rendered in an archaic-classical Cypriot style, with a pronounced beard and strong profile. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of hammered gold coinage from the Salaminian mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Euagoras I ruled Salamis during one of the most politically precarious periods in Cypriot history, navigating alliances with Athens and Persia simultaneously — often playing both against each other. He championed the introduction of the Greek alphabet to Cyprus, displacing the island's ancient syllabic script, a reform that reshaped Cypriot administrative and cultural life. This tiny gold fraction likely served elite or mercantile exchange during a reign that ended with his assassination by a eunuch in 374 BC, the result of a private dispute rather than political conspiracy, according to Diodorus Siculus.
