| Reverse description | A large kantharos (wine vessel) depicted centrally in the field, with high-swung volute handles rising above the rim and a spreading foot below, rendered in outline style typical of Chalcidian-influenced bronze coinage. To the left, a cluster of grapes hangs beside the vessel, a reference to the wine trade for which Mende was celebrated in antiquity. The ethnic abbreviation MHN appears in Greek letters distributed around the kantharos in the field. The composition fills the flan completely, with no border or exergue line. |
