| Reverse description | Plain reverse displaying the characteristic structural features of a square-foot spade coin: a prominent central vertical ridge running the full length of the body from the neck to the bifurcated foot, accompanied by two flanking vertical ribs forming a tripartite division of the field. The shoulder is trapezoidal and the foot terminals are splayed outward. No inscriptions or additional devices are present. The surface bears an even olive-brown and malachite-green patina consistent with ancient bronze casting. |
