| Beschrijving keerzijde | A quadripartite incuse square divided by two diagonal grooves forming an X-pattern, creating four triangular compartments of alternating raised and sunken sections. This early incuse technique is consistent with archaic Greek minting practice of the late sixth century BC, in which the reverse punch left a characteristic deeply impressed geometric pattern. The incuse is irregular in execution, reflecting the handcrafted nature of the hammered flan. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carystus occupied the southern tip of Euboea, a strategically awkward position that left it culturally closer to the Cyclades than to the more powerful Euboean cities of Chalcis and Eretria to the north. The city's coinage from this period is among the scarcest of all Euboean issues, reflecting a modest commercial economy rather than the mercantile ambitions of its neighbors.
BCD Euboia 546 is drawn from the collection assembled by the banker and collector known as BCD, whose Euboean holdings — sold at Leu in 2008 — remain the reference standard for the series.
