| Obverse description | Dionysos, bearded and clad in a richly decorated himation, reclines leftward upon the back of a donkey advancing to the right. The god holds a kantharos in his raised right hand while his left arm hangs loosely at his side. The composition is rendered in a lively archaic-classical style characteristic of northern Aegean coinage. A single grain of barley appears in the exergue, serving as a civic emblem of Mende. |
