背面描述	A lion in full pounce to right, attacking a stag collapsing beneath it to right; the predator-prey group is rendered with dynamic, naturalistic energy characteristic of Achaemenid-influenced glyptic art. The entire composition is contained within a dotted square border set within a shallow incuse square, a distinctive feature of Phoenician Cypriot coinage of this period. The Aramaic inscription of the king's name appears in the field.

附加信息	Kition, on the southeastern coast of Cyprus, operated under Phoenician dynastic rule from the late fifth century BC, with Azbaal among the earliest named rulers whose coinage can be attributed with confidence. The siglos denomination itself reflects the coin's role in a region caught between Persian administrative demands and active Aegean trade networks — Cyprus sat directly on the route between the Levantine coast and the Aegean, and its silver circulated accordingly. BMC Greek #15 and the Tziambazis corpus together provide the primary framework for attributing this type, though die-linked specimens have helped clarify the sequence of Azbaali issues within what is otherwise a compressed and poorly documented dynastic record.
