| Beschrijving voorzijde | Ram's head in left profile, rendered in bold archaic relief on this tiny fractional silver piece. The modelling is compact yet naturalistic, with the curved horns and muzzle of the ram clearly articulated within the small flan. The design fills the irregular flan without legend or border, consistent with the early Cypriot coinage tradition under king Euelthon of Salamis. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Euelthon ruled Salamis in the late sixth century BC as the island passed through the gravitational pull of successive Near Eastern powers — first Assyria, then Egypt under Amasis, then Persia after Cambyses' conquest of Egypt in 525 BC. He is credited as the first Cypriot dynast to strike coins at all, making this fractional piece among the earliest silver coinage produced anywhere on the island. That Salamis was minting at this tiny denomination suggests a functioning market economy sophisticated enough to require change.
