| Reverse description | A kithara (lyre) with seven strings depicted in fine detail at center, showing the instrument's characteristic curved arms, crossbar, and soundbox rendered with precision. The ethnic legend ΧΑΛΚΙΔΕΩΝ is inscribed around the field, with the magistrate's name in the genitive form ΕΠΙ ΟΛΥΜΠΙΧΟΥ appearing below the lyre. The composition is characteristic of the later series of Chalkidean League tetradrachms struck at Olynthos. |
