| Beschrijving keerzijde | Deep incuse square containing an elaborate geometric mill-sail or stella pattern, consisting of a central pellet surrounded by radiating spokes forming a wheel motif, enclosed within a lozenge or diamond shape. The triangular compartments between the lozenge and the square border are filled with finely incised ladder or chevron decorations. Three small pellets flank the central wheel at cardinal points. The entire design is struck in high-relief incuse, characteristic of early archaic Karian civic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Halikarnassos — better known as the birthplace of Herodotus and, a century later, the site of one of Alexander's most brutal sieges — was producing coinage during a period of Achaemenid Persian dominance over the Karian coast. The hekte denomination itself reflects fractional silver conventions common across Ionian and Karian mints, where small-denomination electrum and silver fractions served the practical needs of a mercantile port economy. The city's position as a Persian satrapal seat during the late sixth century almost certainly shaped who controlled the mint.
