| Reverse description | A lion passant to the right occupies the central field, depicted with characteristic archaic rigidity and stylized mane; a winged solar disc appears above the lion's back. The entire composition is contained within a dotted square border, which is itself set within a deep incuse square, a hallmark technique of early Cypriot coinage from Kition under the reign of Baalmelek I. |
