Chalkon - Melekiathon

Aversbeschreibung	Laureate head of Herakles facing left, rendered in archaic Cypriot style with naturalistic hair falling in locks over the neck; the deity's features are boldly modeled with a prominent brow and strong jawline. The portrait is set within a plain field bordered by a finely beaded outer rim. The depiction reflects the strong Phoenician-Greek artistic influence characteristic of the Kition mint under king Melekiathon.

Reversbeschreibung	Herakles standing facing or in striding pose, nude, holding a club raised in the right hand and a bow in the left; the figure is rendered with a compact, powerful physique consistent with the archaic Cypriot bronze coinage tradition. A Phoenician legend appears in the left field. The scene is set within a beaded border on an irregular flan typical of small hammered bronze issues.
