| Reverse description | A geometric stellate pattern occupying the center of a square incuse punch, as was characteristic of early Milesian coinage struck on the Milesian weight standard. The design features a central raised pellet from which radiate multiple arms ending in small knobs or pellets, interspersed with elongated leaf- or petal-shaped raised elements at the cardinal and diagonal points, creating a highly symmetrical star-burst or floral ornament. The incuse square itself is divided diagonally by raised lines forming a triangular framework around the central motif. The field within the incuse is granular in texture. No legend is present. |
