| Reverse description | Incuse square divided into four triangular sections by diagonal raised ridges forming a mill-sail or windmill pattern, characteristic of early Sicilian archaic coinage. The square incuse is framed by a linear border, creating a recessed geometric composition. The triangular quadrants alternate between raised and sunken surfaces, producing a pinwheel effect typical of sixth-century BC hammered technique. The design is consistent with the earliest phase of Greek Sicilian coin production and reflects the influence of Aeginetan and Peloponnesian coinage conventions. |
