| Reverse description | Incuse square containing a forepart of a roaring lion facing left, depicted in a bold and vigorous archaic style with mane rendered in striated detail and mouth open wide to reveal the teeth. The design is set within a shallow recessed square punch, a hallmark technique of early Greek electrum coinage from the Lesbian mint. The lion's powerful musculature and aggressive posture are conveyed with confident artistry despite the small module. No legend or inscription is present. The incuse square has a slightly raised outer border that frames the lion forepart device. |
