| Reverse description | A serpent shown in three-quarter coil, its scaled body rendered in fine relief with the head raised and turned to the right, enclosed within a rectilinear linear frame. The serpent's scales are carefully incised, conveying naturalistic detail consistent with the high artistic standard of Mytilenean electrum coinage. The frame consists of plain raised lines forming a rectangular border, set against a smooth, flat field. No legend or inscription is present. The type is characteristic of the later issues of the Mytilene hekte series. |
