| Beschrijving keerzijde | Incuse square containing a windmill or pinwheel pattern formed by four curved spokes radiating from a central boss, creating a swastika-like rotary motif characteristic of early Pontic Greek coinage. The design is deeply impressed into the flan in a square incuse punch, with the radiating arms separated by plain triangular fields. This type of incuse reverse is typical of archaic Greek silver issues of the Black Sea colonial mints. No inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Apollonia Pontika — modern Sozopol on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast — was a Milesian colony that controlled significant regional trade routes throughout the fifth and fourth centuries BC. The city's drachms circulated widely across Thrace and into the western Pontic hinterland, appearing in hoards alongside Istrian and Mesembrianissues with enough regularity to confirm their acceptance well beyond the issuing city's own territory.
SNG Copenhagen 451 anchors this type firmly within the scholarly corpus, though die studies have revealed considerable variation across the series.
