| Reverse description | The head of Pan in profile facing right, distinguished by his characteristic small horn projecting from the forehead and closely cropped hair rendered in fine parallel lines; the visage displays the broad, rustic features typical of Pan iconography in the classical Greek tradition. The bust is contained within a raised linear square border, itself set within a shallow incuse square, a hallmark technique of Mytilene's electrum hekte coinage. No legend is present; the composition is spare and centered, allowing the bold, slightly idealized portrait to dominate the design field. |
