| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in a similar Archaic style to the obverse, enclosed within a dotted square border set within a recessed incuse square — a hallmark of early Cypriot silver staters. An ankh symbol, the Egyptian cross of life, appears in the upper right quadrant of the dotted square, reflecting the strong Egyptian cultural influence prevalent in Lapethos during the fifth century BC. The incuse square is deeply struck, with flat sunken fields framing the inner design. |
