| Beschrijving keerzijde | A quadripartite incuse square dominates the reverse field, produced by a four-pronged punch applied during the hammering process. The square is divided into four recessed rectangular compartments arranged symmetrically around a central raised cruciform divider, creating the characteristic windmill or mill-sail pattern. The incuse design is deeply impressed into the flan, with the surrounding field retaining the natural irregular surface of the hammered electrum planchet. No inscription or additional devices are present, consistent with standard Kyzikene hekte reverse types. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kyzikos dominated western Anatolian trade finance for much of the fifth and fourth centuries through near-monopoly control of electrum coinage, and the hekte was its workhorse denomination. The city's electrum was alloyed to a remarkably consistent standard across centuries of production, a reliability that made Kyzikene staters and their fractions acceptable tender well beyond the Black Sea littoral — into Thrace, the Greek mainland, and Persian-controlled territories simultaneously.
Von Fritze's cataloguing of this series remains the foundational reference, though many individual hekte types still lack French and Aulock corpus numbers, as this piece does — a reminder of how incompletely the full series has been systematically assigned.
