| Beschrijving keerzijde | Rough incuse square of irregular form sunk into the flan, exhibiting a deeply recessed, uneven surface divided by raised ridges into multiple compartments. The incuse displays the characteristic primitive punched appearance typical of early archaic Greek coinage, with no figurative design or inscription present. The raised border of the incuse square is clearly defined against the broader flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kos operated as a significant maritime and commercial hub in the southeastern Aegean, and its early silver coinage served trade networks stretching toward Anatolia and the Levant. The dating of this issue — straddling the Persian Wars — places it among the coinages struck while the Aegean Greek cities navigated, sometimes violently, between Achaemenid pressure and Hellenic alliance obligations. Kos itself submitted to Persia during this period, a political reality that did not halt local minting.
