| Beschrijving keerzijde | Irregular incuse punch covering the full reverse field, divided into multiple irregular rectangular or square compartments by raised ridges forming a rough cruciform or mill-sail pattern, typical of the earliest hammered electrum fractional coinage of western Anatolia and the Pontic region. The incuse marks are deeply struck and uneven, consistent with the use of a simple punch tool. No legend, symbol, or secondary device is present. The surface exhibits the characteristic rough texture of primitive incuse technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cimmerians — a nomadic people who swept through Anatolia in the late 7th century BC, sacking Sardis and destabilizing Lydian authority — are not typically associated with coinage at all. Attribution of electrum fractions to them remains contested among specialists, with some arguing the BMC classification reflects the geographic findspot rather than a confirmed issuing authority. The electrum itself almost certainly originates from the Pactolus River valley, the same natural alloy source feeding early Lydian and Ionian issues.
