Descrizione del rovescio	Within a shallow incuse square, a seven-stringed lyre occupies the central field, depicted frontally with elegantly curved tortoiseshell body and upright arms terminating in volutes. To the lower left, a lit torch is shown vertically; to the lower right, a circular shield and a sword are placed as additional Apolline and civic symbols. The ethnic legend OΛYMΠΗ is inscribed along the upper border of the incuse square in Greek characters.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Olympos was a minor Lycian city whose independent coinage essentially ended when Rome reorganized the region following the defeat of Perseus of Macedon in 168 BC, after which Lycia was handed to Rhodes and later granted autonomy as a federation. Issues attributable to Olympos as a distinct civic authority within this compressed window are scarce, and the city's numismatic record remains poorly catalogued compared to better-documented Lycian centers like Phaselis or Xanthos.
