1/2 Stater

正面描述	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.

附加信息	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.
