| 裏面の説明 | A tortoise depicted in profile view, rendered schematically with a domed shell and splayed limbs, set within a plain linear circle, which is in turn enclosed within a broad incuse circle. The tortoise motif, a symbol associated with Aegean maritime trade coinage, is presented with minimal detail at this small module. The entire design is sunk into a shallow incuse square depression, consistent with early hammered coinage technique of the eastern Aegean region. |

Methymna was one of the five major poleis of Lesbos and maintained a degree of political independence even as its neighbor Mytilene dominated island affairs. This tiny fractional silver piece circulated during a period when Methymna made the consequential decision to side with Athens against the Mytilenean revolt of 428–427 BC — a choice that earned the city exemption from the punitive measures Cleon nearly inflicted on the entire island.
