| Beschrijving voorzijde | Female head in three-quarter facing right, wearing a Attic-style helmet with a crested ridge rendered in fine parallel lines, her hair swept back beneath the helmet brim. The modelling of the facial features is characteristic of early Classical Greek artistry, with a softly rendered cheek and a clearly defined ear visible below the helmet. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices. The flan is irregular, as typical of hammered Archaic and early Classical coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Siphnos had been one of the wealthiest islands in the Aegean thanks to its silver and gold mines, which funded a legendary treasury at Delphi in the late sixth century. By the time this piece was struck, that prosperity was a fading memory — Persian forces allied with Samian exiles had sacked the island around 524 BC, stripping it of resources it never fully recovered. That a gold fractional issue was still being produced in the fourth century suggests some residual access to precious metal, though the island's political and economic weight was by then negligible.
