| Reverse description | A winged thunderbolt depicted centrally in the field, its wings spread symmetrically to either side with feathered tips carefully rendered; the central bolt is encircled by a coiled form. Below the thunderbolt, a caduceus (kerykeion) is placed horizontally, serving as a secondary symbol. The ethnic legend AIOΛE appears above in Greek characters, with the letters ME visible below, referencing the city of Methymna on Lesbos. The composition is bold and well-centred, consistent with the civic coinage tradition of the Aeolian cities. |
