BSH9: Silver stater of King Onasi-, Paphos (Cyprus), probably c. 450-420 BC.
Kraay and Moorey 1981, no.60.
Obv. Bull standing l.; winged disc above. Legend Onasi- basile- (Cypriot syllabic: “of King Onasi-”).
Rev. Eagle flying l.; at bottom l., knucklebone. Legend (at top l.) basi- (Cypriot syllabic: “of the King”).
Three chisel cuts on reverse. 11.23g.
This coin-type (SilCoinCyA1944) is dated to c. 400–370 BC in the main online corpus of Cypriot coins, but this seems too late given the dates of other coins in the hoard.
