| Reverse description | Quadripartite incuse square divided into four equal compartments by raised lines, a design standard to Chersonesean hemidrachms. The upper-left quarter contains a pellet (globule), the lower-left quarter bears a small stylized figure or symbol, and the lower-right quarter features a forepart of a lion in miniature, echoing the obverse motif. The upper-right quarter is plain. The incuse technique results in alternating raised and sunken sections, giving the reverse a characteristically geometric, deeply recessed appearance. A partial letter Alpha (Α) is visible, likely serving as a control mark or magistrate initial. |
