| Reverse description | The forepart of a lion facing right with jaws agape, rendered in bold relief, dominates the design. The type is contained entirely within a deeply recessed incuse square, a hallmark of early Cypriot coinage technique. The powerful musculature of the lion's chest and forelegs is depicted with pronounced stylization consistent with fifth-century Amathusian die-cutting. |
