| 裏面の説明 | Facing head of Athena wearing a low, close-fitting helmet adorned with bull's ears at the sides, rendered in a frontal archaic style characteristic of Cypriot coinage of the mid-fifth century BC. The image is set within a recessed incuse square, with traces of Phoenician inscription visible in the left and right fields, reading the royal name Sidqmelek. The facing head type reflects strong Phoenician iconographic influence on the Lapethos mint. |

Lapethos, on the northern coast of Cyprus, was one of the island's Phoenician-dominated city-kingdoms, and its coinage from this period reflects a mint operating under the cultural pressure of competing Hellenic and Semitic influences. Sidqmelek — whose name is Phoenician — was among the city's rulers during a stretch when Cyprus sat awkwardly between Achaemenid Persian suzerainty and Athenian ambitions in the eastern Mediterranean, particularly in the aftermath of the Delian League's campaigns in the region.
The siglos denomination itself borrows from Persian weight standards, a telling concession to the dominant imperial economy of the day.
