| Beschrijving voorzijde | Forepart of a roaring lion facing right, rendered in archaic style with bold, deeply incuse relief; the open jaws and mane are rendered with vigorous, stylized lines characteristic of early Cypriot coinage. The figure occupies the full field of the flan, with the lion's head shown in profile and the powerful musculature suggested through broad, curved striations. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Soloi was one of the ten kingdoms of ancient Cyprus, and its coins from this period reflect the island's position between competing Greek and Persian spheres of influence. The siglos denomination itself was Persian in origin, adopted across the eastern Mediterranean as Achaemenid commercial reach expanded westward. Zapiti & Michaelidou's cataloguing of this type remains the standard reference for Cypriot coinage, their work drawing heavily on hoards recovered from the island in the late twentieth century.
