| Reverse description | Incuse mill-sail or trident-symbol pattern, featuring a cruciform design divided into four quadrants, each decorated with pellets and scrolled tendrils or ivy-shoot ornaments, rendered within a linear square border. This distinctive geometric incuse type is a hallmark of early Byzantion silver coinage. The overall design is deeply struck into the flan, creating a bold recessed impression. The decorative pellets and volutes in each quadrant lend an elegant, symmetrical aesthetic to the reverse field. No inscriptions are present. |
