Beschrijving keerzijde	A lyre depicted centrally within a circular laurel wreath, the branches tied at the base. The lyre serves as the principal civic symbol of Kos, referencing the island's devotion to Apollo. The Greek ethnic inscription ΚΩΙΩΝ appears in the field alongside the magistrate's name EMMEN, distributed around the wreath.

Aanvullende informatie	Kos maintained an active civic bronze coinage throughout the Hellenistic period, and issues of this general type span the decades following the Roman settlement of the eastern Mediterranean after Pydna in 168 BC. The magistrate name partially preserved in this specimen's attribution — Emmen- — reflects the standard Koan practice of naming coins after supervising officials, a practice that has allowed scholars to build a loose sequential chronology for the series despite the absence of explicit dates. SNG Copenhagen 665–669 groups several magistrate-signed bronzes together. The precise placement within the 167–88 BC window remains contested.
