| Reverse description | A kithara (concert lyre) depicted frontally within a incuse linear square border, its resonating body and multiple vertical strings rendered in fine detail with voluted arms curving outward and a crossbar at the top. A cockle shell appears in the lower left field, serving as a mint symbol. The abbreviated civic legend ΜΥΤΙ is inscribed along the upper margin of the linear square, identifying the issuing city of Mytilene. The composition is characteristic of the civic coinage of Mytilene, associating the instrument of Apollo with the city's cultural identity. |
