| Reverse description | A lion passant to the left with its head turned to face the viewer frontally, depicted in a dynamic, archaic artistic convention typical of early Cypriot coinage. The musculature and mane are rendered with stylized incised lines, conveying power and movement. The design occupies a plain, unbordered field with no legend, set within an incuse square characteristic of the hammered technique of this period. |
