| Beschrijving keerzijde | An astragalos (knucklebone) depicted in high relief, occupying the central field of the flan, rendered in a schematic yet naturalistic manner typical of early Cypriot issues. Cypriot syllabic script characters reading 'pa-si' are disposed around the central device, identifying the mint city of Paphos. The reverse is set within an irregular incuse field resulting from the hammered striking technique. |

Paphos was one of the principal Cypriot kingdoms during the Persian period, and its kings struck silver in the sigloi weight standard as a direct consequence of Achaemenid administrative pressure following Cyrus's consolidation of the eastern Mediterranean. The city-kingdom's loyalty during the Ionian Revolt and its aftermath shaped which mints were permitted to continue striking — Paphos among them.
The Weber and Jameson references place this piece within a tightly documented sequence, though die linkage studies on Paphian silver from this decade remain incomplete relative to Salaminian issues.
