| Aversbeschreibung | Bare head of Aphrodite facing right, the hair elaborately dressed and bound with a myrtle-wreath, rendered in the Hellenistic style characteristic of late fourth-century Cypriot coinage. The modelling of the facial features, though worn, retains traces of fine workmanship. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices. The flan is irregular, as is typical of hammered bronze issues of this period and mint. |

Marion, the ancient city-kingdom on Cyprus's northwest coast, was caught in the brutal power struggles that followed Alexander the Great's death. Stasioikos II, its last king, made the fatal mistake of backing Antigonus against Ptolemy. When Ptolemy's forces under his brother Menelaus swept through Cyprus around 312 BC, Marion was razed to the ground — its population forcibly relocated to Paphos. This bronze issue was struck within that narrow, violent window before the city ceased to exist entirely.
