| Reverse description | A four-spoked radiate wheel with a central boss, set within a shallow circular incuse bordered by a raised ring. The Greek letters Κ, Α, and Λ — abbreviating the city ethnic ΚΑΛΧΑΔΟΝΙΩΝ (Kalchedon) — are distributed one per quarter between the spokes. The design is bold and geometric, consistent with the civic coinage tradition of Bithynian Greek cities of the fourth century BC. |
