| Reverse description | Multiple incuse punches struck into the reverse, creating a pattern of recessed geometric compartments across the flan. The incuse design consists of several irregular quadrilateral depressions arranged in a cruciform or stellate configuration, a technique typical of early Greek fractional silver coinage of the western Mediterranean. The surface surrounding the punches retains a granular hammered texture. |
