| Reverse description | A kithara (lyre) depicted facing, with seven strings rendered in fine relief, displayed in precise frontal view and occupying the majority of a deeply recessed incuse square. The instrument's resonating body, crossbar, and side arms are clearly delineated, with a bridge visible at the base. The incuse square has sharply cut, slightly raised borders, characteristic of early fifth-century Ionian coinage. The field within the incuse is flat and unadorned, focusing full attention on the kithara motif. |
