| Beschrijving keerzijde | Quadripartite incuse square divided into four unequal rectangular compartments by two perpendicular grooves, creating a deeply recessed punch mark characteristic of early archaic Greek electrum coinage. The incuse is irregularly struck and shows the typical rough texture of the anvil punch used in sixth-century Ionian minting practice. The four sections are of unequal depth and proportion, consistent with hand-struck production. |

Phokaia was among the earliest Greek cities to strike electrum coinage, and its hektai were accepted across the Aegean and into the Black Sea trading networks that Phokaian merchants aggressively colonized from the late seventh century onward. The city's distinctive coinage persisted even after the Persian conquest of Ionia in 546 BC forced many citizens to emigrate — famously to Alalia in Corsica and later to Elea in southern Italy.
Bodenstedt 24 falls within the archaic sequence documented in Friedrich Bodenstedt's 1981 die study, which remains the authoritative reference for this series.
