Interesting fact
The Siglos - Evagoras I coin from Salamis of Cyprus (ancient) is notable for its unique design, which features a facing male bust on the obverse (front side) and a standing figure of the goddess Aphrodite on the reverse (back side). This design was a departure from the more common designs found on other ancient Cypriot coins, which often featured gods or goddesses in a more formal or abstract manner. The use of a facing male bust on this coin may have been intended to emphasize the importance of the ruler, Evagoras I, who was a prominent figure in Cypriot history.
