| Reverse description | Quadripartite incuse square divided into four triangular sections by a raised cross, each quarter filled with fine diagonal striations creating an alternating pattern of hatching. A raised horizontal band bisects the square, bearing the magistrate's name ΦHΣINOΣ in Greek characters. The incuse technique and geometric patterning are characteristic of early Chian silver coinage, reflecting the standard reverse type employed throughout the Classical period. |
