| Reverse description | A lyre depicted facing, set within a dotted rectangular incuse border. The instrument is rendered with careful detail, showing the resonance box, arms, and crossbar with strings indicated. The ethnic legend ΜΑΘΥ (an abbreviation of ΜΑΘΥΜΝΑΙΩΝ, referring to Methymna) is inscribed across the upper register of the incuse square, flanking the crossbar of the lyre. The letter Δ appears in the lower right corner of the incuse field, likely serving as a magistrate's or control mark. |
