| Reverse description | Quadripartite incuse square divided by two intersecting diagonals into four triangular quarters, with alternating raised and sunken sections in the standard Chersonesos hemidrachm arrangement. The upper-left raised quarter bears a pellet and an X symbol as control marks, while the diagonally opposite sunken quarter displays a lizard as an additional control mark. These countermarks served as issuing authority identifiers and are instrumental in cataloguing the extensive series of Chersonesos coinage. The incuse square is deeply struck with sharp, well-defined borders. |
