| Reverse description | A large bee depicted in high relief at the center of the flan, shown from above with prominent rounded body segments and outspread wings, a recurring civic emblem in Cretan coinage. The bee motif is flanked by small symbols or letters in the field, consistent with western Cretan mint practices. The ethnic legend ΕΛΥΡΙΩΝ arcs around the periphery, identifying the issuing city of Elyros. The engraving displays confident, naturalistic workmanship characteristic of early Hellenistic Cretan die-cutting. |
