| Reverse description | Head of a boar facing right, set within a shallow incuse square with a dotted inner border visible on the right and left sides. The boar's head is rendered with vigorous detail, showing a prominent snout, tusk, and bristled mane along the neck. The ethnic legend ΛΥΤΤΟΣ appears partially around the upper portion of the incuse field, identifying the issuing city of Lyttos in Crete. The incuse technique is characteristic of early Cretan civic coinage, with the design sunk into the flan to create a bold, sculptural impression. |
