| Reverse description | A mounted hero, identified with the local Lydian equestrian deity or heroised founder, advances to the right on horseback while brandishing a double axe (labrys) — an attribute strongly associated with Lydian religious iconography. Beneath the horse's raised foreleg, a lighted altar is depicted, and in the right field stands a cypress tree, both elements evoking the sacred landscape of Mostene. The reverse legend is distributed in two lines around the design, identifying the issuing civic community. |
