背面描述	Draped bust of Aphrodite facing right, depicted within a shallow rectangular incuse punch. The portrait is rendered in low relief with finely worked facial features, the hair swept back from the brow. The surrounding incuse frame is clearly defined with straight edges, a hallmark of Knidian silver coinage of the archaic-to-early classical transitional period.

附加信息	Knidos occupied a strategically awkward peninsula at the southwestern tip of Anatolia, and its early coinage reflects a mint operating within the Persian sphere while maintaining distinctly Greek monetary conventions. The diobol denomination served inter-regional trade rather than large commercial exchange — small silver that passed between sailors, merchants, and craftsmen at the harbor. Knidos was a member of the Delian League after 478 BC, though this piece almost certainly predates that alignment, placing it in the transitional decades when Aegean cities were still negotiating their relationship with Achaemenid authority.
