| Reverse description | Quadripartite incuse square of standard mill-sail or windmill pattern, divided into four recessed compartments by a raised cross, with each quadrant exhibiting a rough, granular texture produced by the hammered striking technique. The incuse design is deeply impressed and irregular in outline, consistent with the hand-struck fabric characteristic of Kyzikene electrum hektes of the late 5th to early 4th century BC. No legend or inscription is present. |
