| Additional information |
The small silver fractions of Lesbos are among the more puzzling issues of the Aegean world — produced by multiple cities on the island, sometimes in collaboration, sometimes not, with attribution still contested after two centuries of scholarship. The boar's-head coinage to which this fraction belongs was likely civic rather than federal, though the absence of ethnic inscriptions on the smallest denominations has made definitive assignment to a single polis effectively impossible.
