| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with a griffin in profile. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the archaic-to-classical transitional style characteristic of Cilician coinage, with fine engraving of the helmet crest and cheekpiece. The field is plain and unlettered. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large pendant bunch of grapes suspended from a vine branch with curling tendrils and a leaf, depicted in bold high relief at the centre of the field. The civic ethnic ΣOΛEΩN is inscribed around the bunch in Greek characters, with the magistrate's or mint official's letters AI – PE placed within the field adjacent to the grapes. The composition is characteristic of Solian civic reverse types emphasising the region's viticulture. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Soloi was one of the principal Greek colonies on the Cilician coast, and its coinage of this period reflects the city's position as a commercially active port with strong ties to both the Aegean world and the Achaemenid interior. The late fifth and early fourth centuries BC saw Cilician mints operating under varying degrees of Persian administrative pressure, and Soloi navigated that tension by maintaining a distinctly Greek civic coinage while the satrapal authority at Tarsus issued its own parallel series.
SNG France 174 anchors this piece within a well-documented die sequence for the type.
