背面描述	Quadripartite incuse square divided into four quarters, alternating between raised and sunken fields in the standard Chersonesos arrangement. In one of the sunken quarters, an amphora is depicted; in the diagonally opposite sunken quarter, a pellet appears alongside the VE monogram serving as a mint control mark. The raised quarters are plain, creating a distinctive contrasting geometric pattern characteristic of early Thracian silver coinage.

附加信息	Chersonesos in Thrace struck hemidrachms almost continuously from the late fifth century through the Macedonian absorption of the region, and the sheer volume and variety of control marks — dots, monograms, amphoras, and combinations thereof — reflects a mint operating under successive civic, Persian-influenced, and eventually Macedonian commercial pressures. The specific pairing of a dot with the VE monogram and amphora as controls helps narrow this piece within a sprawling series that numismatists have spent generations attempting to sequence. These coins circulated aggressively across the Black Sea trade network, turning up in hoards from the Crimea to the Aegean.
