Reverse description Draped bust of Aphrodite facing three-quarters left, wearing a distinctive crown composed of five semi-circular plates, a taenia, beaded hoop earring, and a torque necklace. The hair flows in ringlets behind the head, with one long curl drawn across the cheek in an elegant Hellenistic style. A Cypriot syllabic inscription appears in the field, denoting the royal title of king. The design closely parallels the obverse iconography but employs a differentiated crown and coiffure to distinguish the two types.
