| Reverse description | A kantharos (two-handled wine cup) depicted in three-quarter perspective, centrally placed within a dotted border square, itself set within a shallow incuse square. The civic initials M, Θ, and A — abbreviating the city name Mithymna — are arranged clockwise around the kantharos within the dotted square. The design is boldly struck with crisp detail, characteristic of Lesbian mint coinage of the fifth century BC. |
