| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bearded head of Herakles facing right, enveloped in the scalp of the Nemean lion, the lion's mane rendered in bold, deeply cut parallel striations characteristic of early Cypriot coinage. The hero's facial features are summarily modeled within the constraints of this small denomination, with the lion's jaws framing the top of the composition. The style reflects the archaic Phoenician-Cypriot artistic tradition of the Kition mint under Baalmelek I. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kition, on the southeastern coast of Cyprus, was governed by a Phoenician dynasty throughout the fifth century BC, and Baalmelek I ruled during one of the island's most turbulent stretches — the decades following the Persian suppression of the Ionian Revolt and the concurrent Greek efforts to dislodge Persia from Cyprus entirely. The Delian League's Cypriot campaigns under Cimon culminated in his death at the siege of Kition around 450 BC, a failed operation that effectively ended Athenian ambitions on the island.
The Tziambazis#16 var. designation signals a die difference from the primary catalogued type — on a denomination this small, such variations often trace to individual engravers working at this scale.
