| Reverse description | Archaic xoanon of Hermes depicted standing to the left, rendered as a rigid cult idol in the early Archaic tradition, seated upon a throne whose left arm is supported by a small sphinx figure. To the left of the cult image, a single grain ear is shown, referencing the agricultural significance of the region. The ethnic legend AINION appears in the field in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Ainos in Thrace. The composition reflects the civic pride of Ainos in its distinctive rendering of the local cult statue of Hermes. |
