| Reverse description | A chelys (tortoise-shell lyre) depicted facing, centrally positioned in the field, rendered in bold relief with clearly articulated strings and resonating body. The chelys was the civic emblem of Thespiai and its presence identifies the issuing city. The ethnic legend ΘΕΣ-ΠΙΕΩΝ is disposed in two lines flanking the instrument, left and right, in Greek characters. The coin's reverse design is characteristic of Thespian civic bronze coinage of the late Hellenistic period. |
