| Reverse description | A seven-stringed kithara depicted facing, with a crossbar at the top and a rectangular resonating body, rendered in careful detail with individual strings visible in relief. A thunderbolt symbol appears in the left field, serving as a civic emblem, while a monogram — likely a magistrate's or mint official's mark — is positioned in the right field. The partial ethnic inscription ΜΥΤΙ (abbreviated form of ΜΥΤΙΛΗΝΑΙΩΝ) references the issuing city of Mytilene, identifying this as a civic coinage of Lesbos. |
