Cyprus, Kition AR Stater. Azbaal, circa 449-425 BC. [Herakles in fighting stance to right, wearing lion skin upon his back and tied around neck, holding club overhead in right hand and bow extended before him in left hand; monogram or ankh to right] / Lion attacking stag crouching right; L'Z'B'L (in Aramaic) above; all inside dotted border within incuse square. Zapiti & Michaelidou 5–6; Tziambazis 17; BMC 16–8. 11.06g, 23mm.
Very Fine. Obverse weakly struck leaving most of the undertype visible, this being an Aegina stater mill-sail reverse pattern, while the sea turtle from the obverse of the Aegina stater is still partially visible swimming into the top right hand corner of the incuse square of the Kition over-type.
