According to the most recent studies, the earlier coinage of Kition was based on a Siglos of 11 g, divided for the smaller denominations by multiples of three.
"The fact that the weight standard used in Cyprus was independent of that used in other parts of the Persian empire is an indication of the internal independence of the kingdoms and of the absence of direct Achaemenid influence and control"
Nonetheless, a cyprus siglos of 11 g permits an easy convertibility with the persic siglos, whose the weight is around 5.50 g.
