| Aversbeschreibung | Standing figure of the Persian Great King in profile to the right, depicted in court dress and wearing the kidaris crown, with arms extended in the act of drawing a bow. The figure is rendered in a schematic Achaemenid style characteristic of Sidonian coinage of this period, occupying the central field of the small flan. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Sidon occupied a peculiar position among Phoenician cities in the late fifth century — nominally under Achaemenid Persian authority, yet granted enough autonomy to produce its own coinage in support of Persian naval operations. These fractional pieces were struck to facilitate small transactions in a port economy where precise subdivision of value mattered enormously. The series to which this piece belongs was likely minted under Straton I or one of his immediate predecessors.
Betlyon's classification of this type places it within a tightly dated horizon corresponding to increased Persian military activity in the eastern Mediterranean.
