| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device consisting of an ankh symbol — the Egyptian crux ansata — enclosing a pellet within the ring at its head, a motif reflecting the strong Phoenician and Egyptian cultural influence at Marion during the late fourth century BC. The entire device is set within a wreath of olive or laurel branches, the leaves rendered in low relief radiating around the central symbol and filling the field to the coin's edge. No legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Marion, the ancient city-kingdom on Cyprus's northwest coast, was caught in the brutal power struggles that followed Alexander the Great's death. Stasioikos II, its last king, made the fatal mistake of backing Antigonus against Ptolemy. When Ptolemy's forces under his brother Menelaus swept through Cyprus around 312 BC, Marion was razed to the ground — its population forcibly relocated to Paphos. This bronze issue was struck within that narrow, violent window before the city ceased to exist entirely.
