Double Siglos

正面描述	Deeply incuse reverse type showing a male figure depicted in the kneeling-running pose (knielauf), rendered in archaic style within a recessed square punch divided into quadrants by intersecting incuse lines. The figure appears to be a warrior or deity in dynamic motion, with arms raised. The surface displays the characteristic rough, granular texture of early hammered coinage from the Cypro-Archaic period. No legend is present.

附加信息	Lapethos, on the northern coast of Cyprus, operated under successive Phoenician dynastic rulers during this period, and its coinage reflects that cultural overlap — neither purely Greek in convention nor fully Phoenician. The double siglos denomination itself is unusual for Cypriot mints, which more commonly struck in the single siglos range, suggesting this piece was intended for larger commercial transactions or official payments, possibly tied to tribute obligations under Achaemenid Persian administration. Rosen 748 is a well-documented type within the Rosen Collection, which remains a foundational reference for Cypriot archaic coinage.
