| Reverse description | Crowned male bust facing left, likely representing the dynast Menelaos or a divine figure, rendered in the Cypriot artistic tradition. In the right field, a Cypriot syllabic sign appears, representing the syllable 'pa', the initial syllable of the Cypriot-syllabic word pa-si-le-wo-se, meaning 'king'. The combination of Greek and Cypriot syllabic scripts on this coin reflects the bilingual epigraphic conventions characteristic of late-period Salaminian coinage. |
