| Beschrijving keerzijde | Forepart of a roaring lion to right, shown in high relief with open jaws and detailed mane, contained within a beaded square border set inside a deeply recessed incuse square. The double framing device — a square of pellets within the incuse — is a hallmark of early Amathusian coinage and serves as both a decorative and technical feature of the hammered die work. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amathus was among the most stubbornly pro-Persian cities on Cyprus during the Ionian Revolt and its aftermath, resisting the broader Hellenic cultural pull that reshaped neighboring mints. This siglos — the name Wroikos likely identifying a local dynast otherwise poorly attested in the literary record — belongs to a period when Cypriot city-kingdoms operated with considerable monetary autonomy under Achaemenid suzerainty, issuing their own silver while nominally subordinate to Persia. The BMC Greek series documents very few specimens, and the dynastic attribution itself rests on limited epigraphic evidence.
