| Beschrijving keerzijde | Draped bust of a male figure facing left, identifiable as the king Pnytagoras, displaying long sideburns and hair arranged in tight ringlets cascading down the back of the neck. He wears a distinctive crown ornamented with semicircular plates and a torque at the neck, both emblems of royal Cypriot authority. The abbreviation ΒΑ, standing for Basileus (King), is inscribed in the right field, affirming the regal status of the issuer. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pnytagoras was the last king of Salamis to strike in his own name before Alexander's conquest absorbed Cyprus into the Macedonian sphere. He initially backed the Persian side during the Phoenician revolt of the 340s, then shrewdly defected to Alexander at the siege of Tyre in 332 BC — a political pivot that briefly preserved his throne. These gold staters belong to that compressed window of independent Cypriot royal coinage, minted under conditions of shifting allegiance and military pressure from both Persia and Macedon.
