| Reverse description | The reverse displays the retrograde or archaic Greek inscription ΔΑΝ in large, bold incuse-style raised letters dominating the central field, an abbreviation associated with the Dankle/Zancle ethnic or magistrate reference. The letters are rendered in an early archaic monumental style, with the delta formed as a lozenge shape. A border of raised pellets encircles the legend, echoing the obverse border treatment. The field is otherwise plain and unadorned. The flan exhibits the characteristic irregular outline of a hand-hammered small silver denomination. |
