| Reverse description | A quadripartite incuse square dominates the reverse field, divided by two perpendicular raised ridges into four recessed compartments of irregular depth, a hallmark of early Greek hammered coinage produced by a punch die. The incuse pattern is deeply struck and slightly asymmetric, consistent with hand-struck production. No inscription or additional device appears within the compartments. The plain surrounding field retains the natural texture of the electrum flan. |
