| Reverse description | A quadripartite incuse square dominates the reverse, divided into four recessed sections of alternating raised and sunken relief, forming a windmill or pinwheel pattern characteristic of early Greek hammered coinage. The incuse is deeply struck and precisely executed, consistent with the high technical standard of Kyzikene hekte production. No inscription or legend is present. The irregular flan edge is visible at the periphery, reflecting the hand-crafted nature of archaic electrum coinage. |
