| Reverse description | Quadripartite incuse square divided by raised bands into four equal rectangular compartments, each filled with a granulated or pellet-textured surface creating a distinctive decorative pattern. The incuse square is deeply impressed and well-centered on the flan, with each quadrant exhibiting a uniform granulation typical of early Classical Ionian coinage. This reverse type is characteristic of the archaic and early Classical monetary tradition of Chios. |
