| Reverse description | Confronting lion's head facing left, mouth agape displaying teeth and tongue, rendered with bold relief within a shallow incuse square. The mane is depicted with fine radiating lines fanning to the right of the head. The Greek ethnic legend ΑΣΣΟΟΝ is distributed around the lion's head in the four corners and along the borders of the incuse square, identifying the issuing city of Assos. The incuse square itself is deeply struck with a slightly granular surface, typical of early fifth-century Troadic coinage. |
