| Reverse description | A stylized winged thunderbolt depicted upright in the central field, enclosed within a circular olive wreath tied at the base. The wreath leaves are rendered in low relief with a naturalistic arrangement of branches curving symmetrically around the central device. The type alludes to the Homeric association of Ithaca with Zeus and the Odyssean tradition. |

| Additional information |
Ithaca struck its own bronze coinage only briefly, and the output was modest by any measure — the island's economic reach never matched its mythological fame. The BMC series for this issue is thin, and auction appearances remain infrequent enough that die linkage studies across the known specimens are still incomplete.
