| Reverse description | Two confronted female heads in profile, facing one another with their faces overlapping at the centre, rendered in sunken incuse relief within a square incuse punch. The juxtaposed profiles, sharing overlapping facial contours, create a distinctive symmetrical composition characteristic of Mytilene's hekte coinage. The incuse square border is well-defined, and the field surrounding the heads is plain. |
