| Reverse description | Plain, deeply struck rectangular incuse punch dominating the entire reverse field, characteristic of early Lydian coinage production technique. The incuse is divided into two compartments by a raised vertical ridge, creating a bipartite impression within the square punch mark. The surface within the incuse shows a rough, granular texture resulting from the hammered striking process. No legend, inscription, or additional design elements are present. |
