| Beschrijving voorzijde | A schematically rendered eye depicted in relief, occupying the central field of the tiny flan. The design is boldly struck in a primitive archaic style characteristic of early electrum and silver fractions from the Lesbian island mints. No legend or inscription accompanies the type. The surrounding field is plain, with the naturally irregular flan edge framing the device. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lesbos in the early fifth century operated under a shared electrum coinage system among its major cities — Mytilene and Methymna most prominently — but silver fractions like this piece suggest independent municipal production running parallel to that federation. At 1/96 of a stater, this denomination served the most granular end of daily exchange, the kind of transaction that larger electrum pieces could never efficiently handle.
