| Beschrijving keerzijde | Incuse square punch of quadripartite design, deeply impressed into the reverse of the flan as was standard practice for early electrum coinage of western Asia Minor. The square is divided into irregular raised and sunken compartments by a central ridge, creating a mill-sail or skewed cross pattern within the incuse. The surface within the punch shows residual texture from the striking process. No inscription, legend, or subsidiary device is present. The plain surrounding field merges directly with the coin's edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Phokaia was one of the few cities granted the right to strike electrum coinage under agreements with the Persian satrapy, a privilege it shared — uneasily — with Mytilene on Lesbos. The two cities eventually formalized this arrangement around 394 BC through a known monetary accord, alternating coin types on a fixed schedule to prevent market saturation. Bodenstedt 65 falls within the later phase of this series, before Phokaia's autonomy was curtailed following the King's Peace of 387/6 BC, which handed the Ionian coastal cities back to Persia and effectively ended independent civic minting.
