背面描述	An eight-petalled floral rosette occupies the central field, with each elongated petal radiating symmetrically from a central pellet boss, rendered in bold relief on the small hammered flan. Between the petals, individual Greek letters of the civic ethnic are distributed around the design in the four cardinal interstices, reading Σ-Ο-Λ-Ο-Ι-Α, referencing the city of Kyme in Aeolis. The overall composition is characteristic of the incuse or flat-relief floral reverses found on small Aeolian silver fractions of the fourth century BC.

附加信息	Kyme was among the oldest Greek settlements on the Aeolian coast, but its hemiobol represents a denomination so fractional that its primary function was almost certainly small-scale retail in local markets — fish, oil, a handful of grain. At 0.27g, these pieces were struck with considerable technical difficulty, and surviving examples frequently show off-center dies or incomplete flans, not from carelessness but from the sheer challenge of controlling such a small slug of silver at the anvil.
