| Reverse description | Prominent ankh symbol set deeply within a square incuse punch, with Cypriot syllabic characters occupying each of the four corners of the incuse field. The ankh is rendered in strong, geometric relief against the recessed background, a hallmark of early Cypriot silver coinage. The incuse square is well-defined with sharply cut edges, and a small bird or branch motif appears at lower right. The overall composition reflects the transitional archaic style of Salamis under an uncertain royal authority. |
