| Reverse description | A tortoise depicted in profile view, rendered schematically with a domed shell and splayed limbs, set within a plain linear circle, which is in turn enclosed within a broad incuse circle. The tortoise motif, a symbol associated with Aegean maritime trade coinage, is presented with minimal detail at this small module. The entire design is sunk into a shallow incuse square depression, consistent with early hammered coinage technique of the eastern Aegean region. |
