| Beschrijving voorzijde | Boar advancing to the right in high relief, rendered in an archaic style characteristic of early Lesbian coinage. The animal's bristled back and muscular form are depicted with considerable naturalistic detail despite the small flan. The surface exhibits the irregular, granular texture typical of early fifth-century BC hammered silver coinage from the Aegean region. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Methymna, on the north coast of Lesbos, was one of the five major poleis of the island and a persistent rival to the dominant Mytilene. Unlike Mytilene, which struck its famous billon hekte within the Lesbian electrum coinage tradition, Methymna issued silver on the Aeginetic standard — a deliberate alignment with Aegean trade networks rather than the island's own monetary conventions. The SNG von Aulock 1737 reference places this piece among a thinly documented series, and attributions within early Methymnan coinage remain contested in the literature.
