Above the eagle, the ethnic inscription of the Siphnian community appears in Greek letters, identifying the issuing city-state. The design is bold and characteristic of Cycladic bronze coinage of the fourth century BC.

附加信息	Siphnos, a small Cycladic island, had been one of the wealthiest communities in the Aegean world during the Archaic period — its gold and silver mines generating tribute to Delphi reportedly worth 100 talents annually. By the time this bronze was struck, those mines had long been flooded, likely by Samian raiders around 525 BC, and the island's prosperity was a memory. The shift to small bronze coinage in the fourth century reflects a community operating on a far reduced economic scale.
