| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Melekkiatam ruled Kition during a period when the city-kingdom was under sustained Phoenician dynastic control, and the gold coinage issued in his name reflects the mint's deliberate alignment with Phoenician rather than Greek monetary conventions. Hemistaters from this reign are rare by any measure — Kition's gold output was never prolific, and Tziambazis catalogued fewer than a handful of confirmed specimens for this type.
