| Beschrijving keerzijde | Quadripartite incuse square divided by a raised cross into four recessed compartments, a standard feature of Chersonesean hemidrachms. Two diagonally opposite quarters contain a pellet each: one pellet appears in the upper-right compartment and one in the lower-left compartment, with the remaining two quarters left plain. The incuse is deeply struck and precisely delineated, reflecting the standard reverse type employed throughout the city's coinage during the late Classical period. No legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Chersonesos, the Thracian Chersonese peninsula, issued these hemidrachms continuously for the better part of a century — an unusually long and stable coinage series for a region otherwise subject to near-constant geopolitical pressure from Macedonia, Persia, and the local Odrysian kingdom. The type persisted through the rise of Philip II, who eventually absorbed the peninsula into Macedonian control around 338 BC, yet the coinage continued under various arrangements well after.
The remarkable longevity of the series produced an enormous variety of control marks, making systematic die study unusually complex. McClean 4055–4056 represents only a narrow slice of the known corpus.
