背面描述	A quadripartite incuse square occupies the entire reverse, divided into four recessed triangular or trapezoidal compartments by a raised cross-shaped ridge, creating a windmill or pinwheel-like pattern of alternating raised and sunken sections. This deeply punched incuse design is the standard reverse type employed on Kyzikene electrum hektes of the archaic and classical periods, produced by a four-pronged punch applied at the time of striking. The surface of the incuse areas retains visible tool marks consistent with hand-hammered production. No legend or additional devices are present.

附加信息	Kyzikos dominated electrum coinage production in the Propontis region for roughly two centuries, and its hekte issues circulated far beyond local markets — Athenian records and Black Sea site finds both confirm their reach as a de facto international trade currency. The city's electrum was alloyed with enough silver to produce a consistent pale gold, distinguishing Kyzikene issues from the richer-toned Lydian electrum that preceded them. H&L I#47A is a relatively scarce type within the series.
