| Obverse description | A recumbent ram depicted in left profile occupies the central field, rendered in the archaic Cypriot artistic style. Above the ram, a Cypriot-syllabic inscription reads the royal name Euelthon. An ankh symbol is positioned in the left field, serving as an additional royal or religious emblem. The design elements are characteristic of the coinage issued under King Euelthon of Salamis during the late Archaic period. |
