| Obverse description | Two confronted donkey heads rendered in rudimentary relief, facing one another across the central axis of the flan. The heads are depicted in profile, with elongated snouts meeting at the center of the field, and characteristic long ears rising toward the upper rim. The style is archaic and schematic, consistent with the miniature coinage of the Chalcidian mint at Mende during the early Classical period. No inscription or legend is present. The flan is irregular and slightly convex. |
