背面描述	Ram's head to right in high relief, set within a recessed square incuse punch, with the curved horn and woolly texture rendered in careful detail. Cypriot syllabic inscriptions appear in the field to the left (pa-si-le-wo-se) and below (gu-ru-ko-ne), reading 'of the King Gorgos.' The incuse square bears a granular or hatched interior ground typical of early Cypriot hammered coinage. The bold, plastic modeling of the ram's head reflects the mature Archaic style of Salaminian mint production.

附加信息	Gorgos II ruled Salamis during the tense decades following the Battle of Salamis-in-Cyprus (450 BC), when the island's city-kingdoms were caught between Athenian ambition and Persian pressure. His dynasty maintained a careful, often shifting allegiance — the Salaminian kings paid tribute to Persia while periodically accommodating Greek influence, a political balancing act reflected in the hybrid Cypriot-Greek character of their coinage. The siglos weight standard itself was borrowed from the Persian system, a deliberate signal of where ultimate loyalty resided.
