| Reverse description | Apollo standing facing right in the field, depicted as a nude or lightly draped figure holding a kithara in one hand and a plektron in the other, emblematic of the god's role as divine musician and patron deity of Lappa. A Greek inscription reading ΛΑΠΠΑΙΩΝ is arranged around the figure, identifying the issuing civic authority. The design is rendered in a compact, hieratic style consistent with late Hellenistic Cretan die-cutting conventions. The flan edges are irregular, consistent with hammered production. |
