| Beschrijving voorzijde | A goat depicted in a kneeling or crouching pose to the right, rendered in high relief within a beaded border. The animal's musculature and form are naturalistically modelled in the Archaic Greek style. The composition fills the irregularly shaped flan, characteristic of early fifth-century Cycladic coinage. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A quadripartite incuse square divided by a raised cross into four recessed compartments of alternating depth, a standard reverse type of early Greek coinage produced by the punching technique. The incuse design is deeply impressed into the flan and shows slight irregularities consistent with hand-struck hammered production. No inscription or subsidiary device is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Paros in the late 480s BC was navigating an extraordinarily dangerous political moment. The island had medized — siding with Persia — during Xerxes' invasion, a decision that brought Themistocles to its shores in 480 BC demanding tribute under threat of destruction. The Parians paid. That same humiliation likely disrupted civic functions including coinage, making issues from precisely this window harder to attribute with confidence to a single uninterrupted minting episode.
