| Beschrijving keerzijde | Horse standing to right in profile, depicted in a stiff archaic style within a incuse square border. The animal is rendered with careful attention to musculature and mane, facing right with all four legs visible. The square incuse frame is characteristic of early Greek coinage technique used across Cyprus during the fifth century BC. The field within the incuse is plain, with no legend or subsidiary devices. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyprus during this period was contested ground — nominally under Achaemenid Persian suzerainty after Cambyses' campaigns, yet individual city-kingdoms retained striking rights and issued coinage on local weight standards rather than the imperial Persic standard that the siglos name implies. The attribution to an uncertain Cypriot mint reflects genuine scholarly disagreement, not a cataloging gap; the island's numerous city-kingdoms each maintained distinct die engraving traditions, and without a secure provenanced findspot, assignment remains provisional.
SNG Copenhagen Supplement 626 places this piece among a cluster of similarly unassigned Cypriot silver, a grouping assembled largely from the Rhousopoulos and Demetriou collections in the early twentieth century.
