| Reverse description | A labrys (double-headed axe), the sacred cult symbol of the region, depicted upright on a central shaft, flanked to the left by a bunch of grapes on a vine and to the right by ears of grain, symbolising the agricultural and religious identity of Mostene. The ethnic legend of the issuing city appears around the field. The composition reflects the civic pride and local religious traditions typical of Lydian provincial bronzes. |
