| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mytilene and Miletos operated a joint electrum coinage for centuries, with hektes struck in matched pairs under treaty — one city's obverse type paired with the other's on the reverse. The arrangement was commercially pragmatic: electrum's variable gold-to-silver ratio made consistent valuation difficult across markets, and a recognized bilateral issue reduced that friction on Aegean trade routes. Bodenstedt 62 falls within the period just before the catastrophic Mytilenean revolt against Athens in 428–427 BC, after which the city's economic and political autonomy was severely curtailed.
