| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain, undecorated incuse square punch of irregular quadrilateral form, deeply driven into the flan, dividing the reverse into recessed compartments. The surface within the incuse is rough and shows the characteristic texture of the hammered punch used in early Lydian minting practice. No legend, symbol, or additional device is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kroisos — Croesus in the Latin form that gave us the phrase "rich as Croesus" — reformed the Lydian monetary system around 560 BC, separating gold and silver coinage into distinct denominations for the first time in history. This tiny fractional piece, one of the smallest subdivisions of that system, would have served daily retail transactions in Sardis markets at a moment when coined money was still a genuinely new technology. The mint at Sardis fell to Cyrus the Great in 546 BC, ending Lydian independence and absorbing its coinage tradition directly into Achaemenid Persian practice.
