| Beschrijving keerzijde | A lyre depicted in three-quarter perspective, showing the resonating body, two curved arms, a crossbar, and multiple vertical strings rendered in fine incuse lines, all contained within a deep square incuse punch. The incuse square dominates the entire reverse field, a hallmark of early Greek coinage technique from the fifth century BC. No legend or additional ornament accompanies the type. |

Olophyxos was one of the minor cities on the Athos peninsula — the same narrow strip of land Xerxes famously had his engineers canal through in 480 BC to avoid the storm that had wrecked his fleet a decade earlier at Athos' tip. The city appears in the Athenian Tribute Lists of the Delian League, assessed at a modest one-sixth talent, which squares with the tiny denomination of this issue and the limited commercial reach of a settlement that was always overshadowed by its geography.
