| Reverse description | Incuse square divided into four irregular compartments by a cruciform pattern, a hallmark of early archaic Greek coinage technique. The deeply recessed quadripartite incuse punch shows uneven surface texture within each section, consistent with the primitive die-striking methods employed at Kos during the late Archaic period. No legend or subsidiary devices are present. |
