| Reverse description | Quadripartite incuse square of irregular outline, divided into four recessed triangular compartments by raised ridges meeting at the center, forming a windmill or pinwheel pattern typical of early Archaic Greek coinage. The incuse punch is boldly struck and deeply impressed into the flat reverse surface. The four sections show varying surface textures resulting from the hand-hammered technique. No legend or additional device is present. This style of reverse is characteristic of Troadic and broader Ionian coinage from the late sixth century BC. |
