| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain, slightly concave field surrounding a central raised incuse square, the hallmark reverse type of early Cypriot coinage produced by the hammered technique. The incuse square is prominently positioned at the centre of the flan and displays faint internal divisions or striations, consistent with the punch-mark method used to strike the reverse of archaic silver coinage. The broad, undecorated surrounding field is characteristic of the earliest issues from Idalion, prior to the introduction of more elaborate reverse designs. No inscription or additional device is present. The fabric is consistent with Cypriot workshop practice of the late Archaic period, circa 510–480 BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Idalion was one of the most culturally layered cities on Cyprus — simultaneously Phoenician in merchant character, Eteocypriot in language, and increasingly Hellenic in artistic expression by the early fifth century. This siglos falls within the period before the Phoenician city of Kition absorbed Idalion, a takeover completed sometime around 450 BC with tacit Persian blessing. The city's independent coinage effectively ends there.
The weight standard follows Persic rather than Aeginetic norms, reflecting Cyprus's political position under Achaemenid suzerainty during this precise window.
