Hemistater - Melekkiatam

Aversbeschreibung	Herakles striding to the right, depicted in heroic guise, grasping a club in his raised hand while carrying a bow and quiver; the Nemean lion skin is draped over his left arm. An ankh symbol appears in the right field, reflecting the strong Phoenician cultural influence at Kition. The style is consistent with Cypriot coinage of the fourth century BC, combining Greek iconographic conventions with Near Eastern religious symbolism.

Reversbeschreibung	A lion passant to the right, powerfully rendered, savaging a stag couchant to the right by biting into its back; the predator-prey motif is a hallmark of Kitian royal coinage and conveys regal dominance. The entire scene is enclosed within a dotted square border that frames the composition in the field. The engraving displays the characteristic incuse die-work of Cypriot hammered gold coinage from the reign of Melekkiatam.
