Reverse description A deeply recessed square incuse divided into four triangular compartments by a diagonal mill-sail (pinwheel) pattern, the blades arranged in a clockwise rotation. The incuse is sharply cut and regular, reflecting the archaic punched reverse technique typical of early Greek coinage. The legend, giving the name of a magistrate or civic authority, is distributed within or around the incuse, reading clockwise in archaic Boiotian Greek script. The reverse field surrounding the incuse is slightly convex, corresponding to the rounded obverse relief.
