| Beschrijving keerzijde | Quadripartite incuse square divided into four triangular quarters by raised diagonal ridges, with alternating raised and sunken sections creating a distinctive windmill-like pattern. A pellet is placed in one sunken quarter and a swastika symbol — a common ancient good-luck motif — appears in the diagonally opposite sunken quarter, while the two raised quarters remain plain. This reverse type is the standard and defining design of Chersonesian hemidrachms throughout the Classical period, serving as a regional hallmark. The incuse is deeply struck and precisely executed. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Chersonesos (the Thracian Chersonese, modern Gallipoli peninsula) issued these hemidrachms continuously for well over a century, making them one of the longest-running autonomous silver coinages in the Greek world. They functioned as a genuine trade currency across the northern Aegean, circulating alongside Macedonian and Thasian issues. The type was still being struck when Philip II absorbed the region in 338 BC, effectively ending the city's independent monetary output.
