| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized grain ear or olive sprig shown in three-quarter relief at the center, bound at the base, depicted within a shallow incuse square divided diagonally into a lozenge or quadripartite pattern. The Greek letters ΜΕ appear to the lower left and ΘV to the lower right of the central motif, forming the ethnic abbreviation of Methylion. The incuse technique, characteristic of early Thessalian silver coinage, gives the reverse a distinctive sunken appearance. The overall composition is bold and schematic, consistent with fifth-century BC Greek provincial minting practice. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Methylion was a minor Thessalian community whose coinage output was extremely limited, and the hemidrachm denomination in silver suggests participation in the broader Thessalian weight standard common among league-adjacent poleis during the fifth century. Very few examples are documented, and the reference clustering in specialized corpora rather than major auction records points to a type that saw limited production from the outset rather than one simply lost to attrition.
