| Reverse description | Deeply incuse quadripartite square punch divided into four recessed compartments of alternating depth, creating the distinctive mill-sail or swastika-like pattern typical of early Thraco-Macedonian silver coinage of the late Archaic period. The incuse is boldly struck into the broad irregular flan, with each quadrant showing a rough, granular surface. No inscription or additional device is present. This type of reverse is characteristic of the earliest large silver issues of the Macedonian tribal coinages, serving primarily as a technical feature to ensure even metal distribution during striking. |
