| Reverse description | A double-headed axe (labrys) depicted in high relief at the center of the field, its broad blades symmetrically rendered and its handle extending to the lower border, serving as the principal civic emblem of Tenedos. To the lower left, a bunch of grapes suspended from a short stem; to the lower right, a cicada in profile. The ethnic inscription TEN EΔ I ON is distributed around the field in Greek characters, partially flanking the axe. The square incuse punch characteristic of early hammered island coinage frames the design on the reverse. |
