Reverse description A standing lion facing left, depicted in bold high relief with a prominent mane, tail curled upward, and forelegs resting upon a rocky exergual ground line, characteristic of Milesian civic coinage. A six-pointed star or stellate symbol appears in the upper left field beside the lion's raised tail. The ethnic legend ΜΙΛΗΣΙΩΝ arches above the lion across the upper field, while the magistrate name ΜΕΝΗΣ is inscribed vertically along the right field, and ΜΟΛΟΣΣΟΣ appears horizontally along the lower field. The coin is enclosed within a plain border.
