| Reverse description | A finely detailed kithara (lyre) depicted frontally at center, with two curved arms surmounted by scroll-like terminals and seven strings stretched across a crossbar, all rendered with considerable engraving precision. A coiled serpent appears in the lower left field, its body tightly curled. The entire composition is enclosed within a rectilinear linear square border. The ethnic abbreviation ΜΥΤΙ is inscribed between the upper arms of the kithara, identifying the issuing city of Mytilene. |
