| Beschrijving keerzijde | Quadripartite incuse square divided by two intersecting raised bars into four recessed compartments of roughly equal size, a hallmark reverse type of archaic Asia Minor electrum coinage. The incuse impression is deeply struck and slightly irregular, consistent with hand-hammered production technique of the late archaic period. |

Phokaia's electrum hektai were struck using a natural alloy sourced from the rivers of Lydia and the surrounding region, with a silver content notably higher than the Lydian standard — a deliberate choice that gave Phokaian coinage a distinct pale color and made it immediately distinguishable in trade. The city was among the most aggressive maritime colonizers of the archaic Greek world, planting settlements as far west as Massalia and Emporion, and its coinage circulated accordingly.
The date range straddles the Persian conquest of Ionia. After Cyrus took Sardis in 547 BC, many Phokaians famously chose mass emigration over submission — Herodotos records the episode in detail. Bodenstedt 39 falls within the post-capitulation phase, struck by those who remained.
