| Beschrijving keerzijde | A swan striding to right with wings raised and flapping, rendered in profile. An ankh symbol appears to the right of the bird in the field, a motif closely associated with Cilician civic coinage of Mallos and likely reflecting Egyptian cultural influence. The design is set within an irregular incuse field, with engraving executed in the archaic Cilician style. |

Mallos sat on the Pyramos River in Cilicia, and its coinage of this period reflects a city navigating competing pressures from Achaemenid Persian administrators and its own claimed Argive foundation mythology. The city reportedly traced its origins to the seer Amphilochos, a detail that surfaces in ancient literary sources and likely shaped the civic identity expressed through its mint output. Persian satrapal oversight of Cilician cities during this period was exercised with variable intensity — Mallos retained enough autonomy to strike its own silver, though Persian influence on regional coinage standards was inescapable.
