Word origin

From Latin scyphātus, erroneously interpreted as scyphus (“cup, goblet”) + -ātus; in reality, probably derives from Arabic شَفَة (šafa, “edge, rim”), and refers to the distinctive and conspicuous border of the early histamena gold coins.

Used in a sentence

  • The curious seal, now for the first time published, presents an example of the scyphate, or dished form, which is of rare occurrence.
  • In the later reigns, a coinage of small bronze pieces, slightly scyphate, accompany the aspers.
  • In a light copper series of issues belonging to Peroz C and Peroz D, the imagery closely imitates that of the scyphates.
