| 裏面の説明 | Quadripartite incuse square divided diagonally into four triangular sections, alternating between two raised and two sunken compartments in a windmill pattern typical of archaic Greek coinage. In one of the sunken quarters, a bucranium (ox-skull) is depicted as a symbol; in the adjacent sunken quarter, the monogram AΓ appears above a single pellet. The raised sections are plain and polished. No surrounding legend is present. This reverse type is the hallmark of Chersonesian hemidrachms and served as a consistent civic badge throughout the series. |

Chersonesos — the Thracian peninsula city, not to be confused with the Crimean settlement of the same name — produced these hemidrachms in vast quantities over roughly five decades, making them one of the most widely circulated silver fractions in the northern Aegean. Their ubiquity has long puzzled historians: the city's documented commercial output doesn't fully account for the volume. Some scholars attribute the excess to mercenary pay, as Thracian regional conflicts during this period generated constant demand for small silver.
The McClean specimen reference places this within a tightly catalogued die group. No two obverse dies in the series are identical in incidental details.
