背面描述	Two confronted goat heads facing each other nose-to-nose at the centre of the field, their long curved horns sweeping upward and outward symmetrically. The composition is contained entirely within a deep circular incuse, characteristic of the archaic and early classical hammered coinage technique. The bold, stylised rendering of the two heads creates a striking heraldic design emblematic of Parian coinage. No legend or additional inscription is present on the reverse.

附加信息	Paros had already established itself as a significant silver-issuing polis well before this period, but the island's output contracted sharply following the disastrous Parian expedition of 489 BC — when Miltiades' failed siege left the city largely unmolested but the Athenian general discredited and ruined. By the mid-fourth century, Parian coinage circulated within a Cycladic economy increasingly dominated by Rhodian and Athenian commercial networks, making small silver fractions like this diobol the practical currency of local exchange rather than long-distance trade.
