| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bull standing to left on a ground line, rendered in archaic Cypriot style. A winged solar disk appears above the bull's back, and an ankh symbol is positioned to the left. Cypriot-Syllabic script characters are inscribed in the field between the fore and hind legs, likely representing the name or title of the issuing authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Paphos, on Cyprus's southwestern coast, operated under a dynastic system of city-kings whose loyalty shifted between Persian overlords and Hellenic ambitions throughout the fifth century. The Siglos weight standard itself — borrowed from the Persian administrative system — reflects that ambivalence precisely: a Greek city minting in a Persian weight denomination, a quiet negotiation in metal between two worlds.
The truncated name "Aristo..." almost certainly refers to Aristokypros or a related dynast, though the fragmentary attribution has prompted disagreement among specialists since the BMC cataloging.
