| Beschrijving keerzijde | A quadripartite incuse square dominates the reverse field, formed by four recessed rectangular compartments divided by raised diagonal ridges meeting at the centre, creating an alternating raised-and-sunken windmill-like pattern. This deeply impressed geometric punch is characteristic of early Greek electrum coinage struck by the anvil-punch technique. The surface of each compartment bears irregular granular texture from the hammering process. No legend or subsidiary devices are present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kyzikos was the dominant source of electrum coinage in the Greek world during the fifth century BC, producing a vast series of staters and fractions that circulated far beyond the Propontis as a trusted trade currency. The city's electrum was alloyed to a consistent standard, which gave Kyzikenian issues a commercial reliability that most civic coinages lacked. The hemihekte — one-twelfth of a stater — served the smallest high-value transactions in that system.
Von Fritze's corpus remains the authoritative reference, though the "cf." qualification here signals the type doesn't map cleanly onto a recorded die pairing.
