| Obverse description | Apple depicted in high relief at center of the flan, rendered in a naturalistic style with characteristic lobed form and pronounced vertical ribbing suggestive of the fruit's segments. The apple — a punning civic emblem referencing the Greek name of the island (Melos, melon) — occupies the full field of this irregularly shaped hammered flan, with no legend or border present. |
