| Reverse description | A kithara (lyre) depicted frontally at center, with two curved arms surmounted by pointed finials and flanked on each side by arrow-shaped ornaments projecting horizontally into the field. The instrument's multiple strings are rendered in fine parallel vertical lines between the crossbar and the resonance box, conveying careful attention to the instrument's structure. The retrograde ethnic inscription ΜΕΓ / ΑΡΕ (abbreviation for ΜΕΓΑΡΕΩΝ, 'of the Megarians') is distributed around the kithara in the field, with letters visible to the left and right of the design. |
