| Reverse description | A crab is depicted in the lower field beneath a combined emblem consisting of a double axe (labrys) and a trident, the latter serving as the handle of the axe — a distinctive civic symbol of Mylasa. The entire device is enclosed within a wreath of laurel leaves tied at the base, a common framing motif in Greek Imperial civic bronzes. The ethnic legend ΜΥΛΑϹΕΩΝ encircles the design, identifying the issuing city. The composition reflects Mylasa's local religious and civic iconography, likely referencing the cult of Zeus Osogoa and maritime associations. |
