| Reverse description | A seven-stringed lyre depicted centrally in the field, its resonating body and upright arms rendered in clear detail, serving as the primary civic type of Byzantion and evoking the city's association with Apollo. The Greek ethnic legend ΒΥΖΑΝ appears in the lower field or exergual area, identifying the issuing city. The design reflects standard late Hellenistic civic bronze iconography of the Thracian Propontis region. |
