背面描述	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.

附加信息	Kition, on the southern coast of Cyprus, was a Phoenician city-kingdom that maintained strong ties to the Persian Achaemenid administration even as Greek city-states were pressing for independence during and after the Persian Wars. Baalmelek I ruled during precisely that tension — the decade following Salamis and Plataea, when Persian authority over Cyprus was being actively contested. These fractional silver pieces circulated in a bilingual commercial environment, traded alongside Greek and Persian issues without friction. The Tziambazis reference places this among a tightly catalogued series; the 1/3 siglos fraction is notably less frequently encountered than the full siglos from this reign.
