| Reverse description | A lion advancing to the right in a bold, energetic stance, its head turned frontally to face the viewer, rendered with characteristic Cypriot archaic vitality. The mane is depicted with a stylized lenticular treatment, and the forelegs are extended in a prowling gait. A small star appears in the upper field above the lion's back. The design is set within a shallow incuse square typical of early Kitian silver coinage. |
