| Reverse description | Incuse quadripartite square divided by two perpendicular lines into four equal quarters, a hallmark of early Greek silver coinage. In the upper right quarter appears a rose or rosette in relief, serving as a mint symbol. In the lower left quarter, the Greek letter alpha (A) is depicted in conjunction with a small triangular device and a pellet, forming part of the civic ethnic abbreviation. The remaining two quarters are plain and slightly recessed, consistent with the incuse punch technique employed throughout this series. |
