| 表面の説明 | A Phoenician pentekonter (fifty-oared war galley) depicted in left profile, its hull and oar banks rendered in schematic horizontal lines conveying the vessel's forward motion across stylized wave forms below. The compact flan constrains the design, yet the characteristic multi-tiered hull structure of the warship remains identifiable. No inscription or exergual legend is present. The rendering is typical of the miniaturist engraving tradition employed at the Sidonian mint during the late fifth and early fourth centuries BC. |

Baalshillem II ruled Sidon as a client king under Achaemenid Persian authority, a relationship that shaped the coinage directly — the fractional silver issues of this period reflect a local Phoenician monetary tradition operating within, and partially subordinate to, the Persian imperial economy. At this scale, sixteenth-shekel fractions served retail and market functions that larger denominations could not.
HGC 10, 240 is among the smaller subdivisions in the Sidonian series, and survivors in any condition are genuinely scarce.
