| Reverse description | Within a recessed square incuse border ornamented with a continuous dotted frame, the forepart of a boar's head is depicted facing left with jaws agape, rendered in bold relief with prominent tusks and a finely striated crest along the snout. The ears are small and rounded, and the muzzle is strongly modelled. The Greek ethnic legend ΛΥΤΤΙΟΝ is inscribed along the left and upper edges of the incuse square, identifying the issuing city of Lyttos. The overall composition is characteristic of the severe style employed by Cretan mints of the early Hellenistic period. |
