Bull standing to left on beaded double line; winged solar disk above, [ankh to left]; all within dotted circular border / Eagle standing to left, ankh to left, 'pa-si sa-ta-sa-to' in Cypriot script around; all within dotted square border in incuse square. Babelon, Perses 749a; BMC pl. XXI, 9; Tziambazis -; Roma XIII, 406. 10.86g, 23mm, 2h.
Very Fine. Rare.
From the collection of an antiquarian, Bavaria c. 1960s-1990s.
The similarities in style and fabric of this coin with those attributed to Onasioikos indicate that it was the first known issue in the name of Stasandros, who has evidently succeeded Onasioikos as king. We can also conclude that the dies for both issues were likely the work of the same engraver(s).
