Stater

正面描述	Facing gorgoneion (Gorgon mask) depicted full face, rendered in the Archaic style characteristic of late 6th- to early 5th-century BCE coinage of the Lesbian cities. The grotesque visage features bulging round eyes, a broad flat nose, and a wide open mouth with protruding tongue, flanked by serpentine coils curling outward at either side of the head. The brow is surmounted by a diadem-like band adorned with scrolling volutes and spiral ornaments rendered in low relief. The design fills the irregularly rounded flan, with no legend or inscription present in the field.

背面描述	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.
