| Reverse description | Incuse reverse featuring a large raised circular border enclosing two distinct geometric punches: an upper triangular incuse punch containing a small central pellet or boss, and a lower rectangular incuse punch divided diagonally, both deeply impressed into the flan. This divided incuse square design is characteristic of early Samian electrum issues and reflects the primitive punch technique used by archaic Greek mints to authenticate weight and metal content. No legend or inscription is present. The surface within the punches retains a reddish-brown patina contrasting with the bright electrum of the raised areas. |
