Hekte

正面描述	Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in high relief with sensitively modelled facial features characteristic of late 5th-century Greek engraving. The deity's hair is arranged in flowing locks falling behind the neck, with a laurel wreath clearly visible crowning the head. The portrait displays the idealized yet naturalistic style associated with the finest Mytilenaean electrum coinage, with a well-defined eye, prominent nose, and slightly parted lips. The flan is slightly irregular and convex, typical of hammered electrum hektes of this series.

附加信息	Mytilene dominated electrum hektai production on Lesbos across the late fifth and early fourth centuries, issuing a remarkable succession of matched obverse-reverse type pairs that changed with unusual regularity — a practice scholars believe reflects annual or biennial reissues tied to civic or festival cycles rather than simple monetary demand. The natural electrum alloy sourced from the region carried a gold content that varied batch to batch, and Bodenstedt's exhaustive typology of the series revealed that later issues like this one trend toward a slightly lower gold proportion than earlier Mytilenean output.
