| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a triple-crested Attic helmet with elaborate decoration, rendered in high relief within a beaded border. The facial features are stylized in the Archaic-Classical tradition characteristic of Cypriot coinage. The monogram or royal initials appear in the left field, likely referencing the issuing dynast Stasioikos II. The flan is irregular and slightly ovoid, typical of hammered gold coinage of the Cypriot city-kingdoms of this period. |
