| 裏面の説明 | Incuse square punch of quadripartite design, divided by a raised cross into four recessed compartments, each of roughly equal size, characteristic of the mill-sail or windmill incuse type commonly employed on early Archaic Greek coinage. The central raised intersection of the cross forms a small boss. The square incuse is set within a broad, slightly convex, and granular field typical of hammered billon fabric of this period. No legend or additional device is present. |

Lesbos operated an unusual monetary arrangement in the archaic period: several cities on the island — Mytilene, Methymna, and others — struck electrum and billon coinage cooperatively or in parallel, which is why attribution to a single polis remains impossible for many specimens. The billon fabric itself is distinctive for the region, leaning lower in gold content than the electrum issues Mytilene would later make famous.
The half-century window of this issue overlaps the Persian consolidation of Aegean coastal control under Darius I, when Lesbian cities navigated tributary obligations while maintaining local mint activity.
