| Reverse description | Quadripartite incuse square divided into four roughly equal triangular sections by two diagonal grooves meeting at the center, producing the characteristic windmill or saltire pattern typical of early Greek coinage struck by the incuse punch technique. The surface within the incuse is uneven and granular, consistent with early hammered fabric. No inscription or subsidiary device is present. |
