| Reverse description | A double-headed axe (labrys), the primary symbol of Tenedos, depicted upright at the center of the field within an encircling laurel wreath. The ethnic legend ΤΕΝΕΔΙΩΝ arcs above the labrys in Greek characters. To the left of the axe handle appears a bunch of grapes, and to the right a wreath, both serving as secondary civic symbols. The composition is carefully balanced within the wreath border, reflecting the refined die-cutting style of late Hellenistic civic minting. |
