| Reverse description | Frontal view of a kithara (lyre) with seven strings, depicted in fine detail with two volute-shaped arms, a crossbar, and a decorated sound box supported by a base; the instrument is centrally placed within a shallow incuse square. The Greek ethnic legend ΧΑΛΚΙΔΕΩΝ is distributed around the kithara in the field, with individual letter groups flanking the instrument on either side. The design reflects the emblematic importance of Apollo's sacred instrument to the Chalcidian League and displays accomplished engraving with careful rendering of the strings and structural elements of the lyre. |
