| Reverse description | Quadripartite incuse square divided into four recessed compartments by raised ridges meeting at the centre, with alternating raised and sunken triangular sections creating a windmill or skewed cross pattern within the square. The incuse is deeply struck and well-centred on the irregular flan, consistent with the punch technique characteristic of early Archaic Greek coinage. The overall impression is bold and precise, reflecting the developed incuse tradition of Ionian mints during the late 6th and early 5th centuries BC. No legend or inscription is present. |
