| Reverse description | A finely engraved kithara displayed frontally at center, with seven clearly delineated strings stretched between the curved arms and the crossbar, the instrument's resonating body rendered in precise detail with voluted scroll supports. A small tripod is depicted above the crossbar, serving as a symbol of Apollo's association with Delphi and musical contest. The ethnic legend ΧΑΛΚΙΔΕΩΝ is distributed around the field in Greek majuscule letters, identifying the issuing authority of the Chalkidean League. The overall composition is centered and symmetrical, reflecting the high engraving standards of the Olynthos mint during the final phase of the League's coinage. |
