| Reverse description | A kantharos (two-handled drinking cup) depicted in three-quarter perspective, set centrally within a shallow incuse square. The vessel features prominent loop handles on either side and rests on a raised foot-ring base, with a lid surmounted by a small knob finial. The ethnic inscription ΜΕΝ appears in the field to the left of the kantharos, referencing the issuing city of Mende. The incuse square border is characteristic of early Greek coinage technique. |
