| Beschrijving voorzijde | A wild boar advancing to the left in high relief, rendered with considerable naturalistic vigour characteristic of early Lesbian coinage. The animal's distinctive ridged mane is prominently detailed along the dorsal line, and its muscular haunches and forward-striding legs convey dynamic movement. The figure occupies the full field of the flan with no inscription or exergual line, consistent with the archaic Greek coinage tradition of Methymna on Lesbos. The overall style reflects the bold, plastic modeling typical of late sixth- to early fifth-century BC electrum issues from this region. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large incuse square punch divided into four quadrants by raised ridges forming a swastika-like pattern, a hallmark of early archaic Greek hammered coinage produced by a single reverse punch. The quadripartite incuse is deeply impressed into the flat reverse field, with each compartment showing irregular surface texture resulting from the hammering technique. No legend or secondary devices are present. This purely functional reverse is entirely consistent with early fifth-century BC electrum stater production from Aeolian Lesbos. |
