| Obverse description | Bearded male head facing right, rendered in archaizing style and identified as Dionysos, distinguished by a luxuriant moustache and full beard. The effigy is adorned with an ivy wreath bound by a mitra, attributes emblematic of the god of wine. The modelling reflects the late Archaic artistic conventions favoured by the Mytilene mint, with crisp, high-relief facial detail characteristic of its skilled die-cutters. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription. |
