Comment
Unpublished and unique.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Stater coin of Evagoras II from Salamis of Cyprus is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Cypriot elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts the profile of the king, while the reverse side shows a standing figure of the goddess Aphrodite, who was revered in Cyprus as a symbol of fertility and prosperity. This combination of a ruler's portrait and a deity's image reflects the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred between the Greek and Cypriot civilizations during the Hellenistic period.
