The silver tetradrachms of Lesbos represent some of the finest examples of ancient coins from Greece, produced by various city-states on this Aegean island throughout the Classical and Hellenistic periods. These substantial four-drachma coins typically featured imagery celebrating local deities, heroes, and symbols of civic identity, with designs that varied between the island’s major cities, including Mytilene, Methymna, and Eresos. Right now, the Lesbos Mytilene AR Tetradrachm Silver Coin is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This Lesbos Mytilene AR Tetradrachm Silver Coin is available with a Choice Very Fine grade from the NGC. The coin has a bright, matte surface with silver-gray coloration and fields that show a moderate, satin-like luster. The designs are well struck, with wear patterns that are light and confined to the highest points. The 5/5 strike grade indicates the original strike had good centering, strength, and evenness. The 3/5 surface grade indicates a decent condition in terms of luster, corrosion, and scratches.
The high-quality silver and artistic craftsmanship of Lesbos Mytilene tetradrachms reflected the island’s prosperity from wine production, trade, and its strategic maritime position, while their wide circulation throughout the Mediterranean attests to Lesbos’s significant role in ancient commerce and culture.
The obverse of Lesbos Mytilene AR Tetradrachm Silver Coins comes with a right-profile bust of Heracles, while a portrait of Zeus is found on the reverse of the coin. The production of these tetradrachms during this period reflects Mytilene’s continued economic vitality and political autonomy in the Hellenistic world, even as the broader Greek world fell increasingly under Roman influence, with the coins serving both as currency for international trade and as declarations of civic pride and cultural identity.
