| Reverse description | Incuse square divided into four quadrants by a swastika-like pattern, a design derived from the wheel or mill-sail motif commonly employed on early Phocaean colonial issues. The raised lines forming the cruciform design create alternating raised and recessed sections within the incuse square. The field shows characteristic tool marks consistent with the hammered technique used in fifth-century BC Massalian mint production. |
