The effigy is encircled by a beaded border. The facial features are finely modeled, reflecting the idealized portraiture characteristic of Ptolemaic royal coinage. No legend appears on the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kition, on the southern coast of Cyprus, served as one of the Ptolemaic kingdom's key administrative and minting centers during Ptolemy VI's reign. The absence of a Svoronos or SNG Copenhagen reference number is telling — this piece either represents an unrecorded die pairing or a type so rarely encountered that it fell outside the standard corpora entirely. Ptolemy VI was engaged in costly military campaigns in Coele-Syria through the 170s and 160s, and gold coinage from Cypriot mints in this period was almost certainly tied directly to military financing rather than general circulation.
