| Reverse description | A seven-stringed lyre rendered in relief and set within a shallow incuse depression that closely follows the contours of the instrument's body and arms, creating a distinctive shaped incuse rather than a simple square punch. The lyre is depicted with the crossbar and strings clearly delineated, serving as the principal civic emblem of Kalymna. The incuse technique is typical of early Archaic coinage of the Dodecanese and eastern Aegean islands. |
