Siglos

Kourion was one of the ten city-kingdoms of ancient Cyprus, and its coinage from this period reflects the island's uneasy position between Persian imperial authority and residual Greek cultural identity. The siglos denomination itself borrows its name — and roughly its weight standard — from the Persian silver siglos, a deliberate alignment that smoothed trade across the eastern Mediterranean during Achaemenid dominance.

Tziambazis 147 is a scarce attribution within Kourian coinage, a series already thin on surviving examples given the kingdom's modest output relative to larger Cypriot mints like Salamis.
