| Beschrijving keerzijde | A lion advancing to the right in full stride, its maned head turned to face the viewer frontally, with open jaws and a fierce expression. The animal's powerful haunches and forelimbs are rendered with archaic stylisation, the body occupying the majority of the flan. A smaller animal head, likely a stag or bull, appears in the upper left field. The design is set within an incuse border typical of Cypriot hammered coinage of this period. |

Kition was a Phoenician city-state on Cyprus's southern coast, and its early silver coinage emerged under direct Achaemenid Persian suzerainty following Cambyses II's conquest of Egypt in 525 BC, which brought Cyprus firmly into the Persian imperial orbit. The city's mint operated under Phoenician dynastic authority — culturally distinct from the Greek poleis elsewhere on the island — and these early sigloi predate the more standardized royal Persian sigloi by enough years to reflect genuinely local weight standards rather than strict imperial conformity.
The SilCoinCy corpus classifies relatively few specimens from this early Kitian series, making A7064 a thinly documented type.
