背面描述	Quadripartite incuse square, deeply punched and divided into four recessed compartments by raised ridges meeting at the centre, alternating raised and depressed sections creating a mill-sail or windmill pattern. The incuse is characteristic of early archaic Greek coinage technique, with no inscription or additional device present. The overall impression is bold and geometric, filling the reverse field entirely.

附加信息	Kyzikos dominated electrum coinage in the Aegean for roughly two centuries, and the city's hektes circulated as a trusted trade currency far beyond Mysia — finds have turned up across the Greek world, into the Black Sea region, and as far as Egypt. The natural electrum alloy used here is noteworthy: unlike Lydian issues, Kyzikene coins maintained a broadly consistent gold-to-silver ratio that merchants could rely on, which explains their unusual longevity as a commercial instrument. Von Fritze's classification remains the foundational reference for this series, though SNG France 206 refines the die grouping considerably.
