| Beschrijving keerzijde | A lion advancing or crouching right, a device long associated with the civic coinage of Miletos, occupying the central field of the reverse. The legend naming the magistrate Demosthenes is inscribed in Greek characters, partially flanking the central type. The strike is irregular and the flan slightly off-center, characteristic of small hammered bronze denominationsof this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Miletos retained the right to strike civic bronze well into the Hellenistic period despite coming under Seleucid influence following Alexander's campaigns, and small fractional issues like this one likely served local market transactions that larger denominations made impractical. The Demosthenes type is among the more historically charged choices for a civic issue — the orator had become a pan-Hellenic symbol of resistance to Macedonian power, and his image on coinage from an Ionian city carries quiet political weight even generations after his death in 322 BC.
