| Reverse description | A quadripartite incuse square dominates the reverse field, divided into four recessed compartments of roughly equal size by raised cross-bars, a design typical of archaic Greek electrum coinage produced at Phokaia. The incuse pattern is deeply struck, with the four sunken sections exhibiting varying surface texture consistent with hammer-struck production. No legends or additional devices are present; the geometric incuse served both as a technical requirement of the hammering process and as an authentication feature. The overall execution reflects the standard reverse treatment of Phokaian hekte coinage throughout the fourth century BC. |
