背面描述	Eagle displayed in incuse square, rendered in a bold, schematic archaic style. The bird is shown in profile facing right, with wings partially spread and powerful talons rendered in relief within the deeply cut incuse. A small circular punch mark is visible in the upper left portion of the incuse square. The incuse square itself features a rough granular surface, typical of Siphnian coinage of the late Archaic period. The abbreviation of the civic ethnic ΣΙΦ appears within the field, identifying the issuing city of Siphnos.

附加信息	Siphnos had been one of the wealthiest islands in the Aegean, its silver and gold mines funding a treasury at Delphi so lavish it was considered among the finest in the sanctuary. The mines were reportedly flooded — some ancient sources say deliberately, others by misfortune — sometime in the early fifth century, and the island's coinage effectively ceased not long after. A tetrobol from Siphnos dated to around 480 BC sits very close to that terminus, possibly among the final issues before the mint fell silent for generations.
