| Reverse description | Incuse square divided into quadrants, within which a kantharos (wine cup) is depicted, the emblematic device of Mende, referencing the city's renowned wine trade. The ethnic legend ΜΕΝΔΑΙΩΝ is inscribed around or within the incuse field in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city. The reverse exhibits the characteristic sunken incuse punch technique typical of early classical Macedonian silver coinage. The overall design reflects the transitional style between archaic and early classical Greek numismatic art. |
