| Reverse description | Quadripartite incuse square divided into four roughly equal rectangular sections by a raised cross-shaped ridge, each quadrant exhibiting irregular incuse punch marks consistent with early archaic hammered coinage technique. The incuse pattern is deeply impressed into the flan, creating a sunken relief characteristic of sixth-century electrum hektes. No legends or additional devices are present. The surface within the incuse sections shows tool marks from the punch used during striking. |
