| Reverse description | A lyre depicted facing, with clearly delineated strings and rounded body, centrally placed within the field. The Greek ethnic legend AKANΘION curves around the periphery of the flan, identifying the issuing city of Akanthos in Macedon. The design is boldly struck within the irregular hammered flan, with the lettering partially visible due to the small module of the coin. |
