Reverse description Quadripartite incuse square divided diagonally into four triangular compartments, with alternating raised and sunken quarters in the characteristic Chersonesian style. The Greek letters ΘΕ appear in one of the sunken quarters, serving as a civic or magistrate's control mark, while a bee occupies the opposing sunken quarter as an additional symbol. The raised quarters remain plain. The incuse square is deeply struck and precisely executed.
