| Reverse description | Central device consists of a labrys (double-headed axe) with a bull's head positioned at the base of the handle, flanked by two small figures — a male figure to the left and another figure to the right — all set within the lower field. The legend TENEΔIΩN is inscribed in large Greek majuscule characters across the upper field. The entire design is enclosed within a wreath of laurel or olive branches tied at the base, a typical framing device for Hellenistic civic coinage of the Troad region. The labrys is the principal civic emblem of Tenedos and appears prominently on the coinage throughout the city's minting history. |
