| Reverse description | Incuse square punch of irregular form, typical of archaic South Italian hammered coinage of the late 6th century BC, presenting a shallow recessed field with no additional design elements. The incuse technique reflects the Phocaean tradition adopted by the early mint of Poseidonia, in which the reverse serves as a mechanical counterpart to the obverse design. |
