| Beschrijving keerzijde | A deeply recessed incuse square dominates the reverse, its surface divided diagonally by raised ridges forming an X-pattern, consistent with the early Achaean incuse technique employed at Siris and neighboring Magna Graecia mints during the late Archaic period. The incuse field displays a rough, granular texture, and the square is clearly defined by a raised border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Siris, a Achaean colony on the Gulf of Taranto, was destroyed by a coalition of neighboring cities — Croton, Sybaris, and Metapontum — around 530 BC, making the dating of this issue contentious and the surviving population that struck it short-lived. The polis effectively ceased to exist as an independent minting authority within a generation of these coins' production.
AMNG III#11 places this among the earliest documented staters attributable to Siris before the city's absorption into what would become Heraclea in the following century.
