| 裏面の説明 | Forepart of a crouching lion to left, its head turned frontally to face the viewer, jaws open and gnawing upon a bone held between its forepaws; the musculature is rendered with bold archaic modelling. The device is contained within a deeply recessed incuse square, a hallmark of early Greek silver coinage of the late sixth and early fifth centuries BC. The field within the incuse is plain, with no inscription or additional devices. |

Kyrene's silver coinage from this period derives its entire economic rationale from silphium, the now-extinct plant the city harvested and exported across the Mediterranean world. The plant was so central to Kyrenaean wealth that it functioned almost as a monetary backing — Rome eventually stored it in the treasury alongside gold and silver reserves. By the first century AD it was gone entirely, likely due to overgrazing and unsustainable harvest, making these early coins artifacts of a trade commodity that no civilization has since been able to replicate or even botanically identify with certainty.
