| Reverse description | Quadripartite incuse square with four recessed triangular compartments meeting at the center, creating a symmetrical mill-sail or windmill pattern in deep relief. The incuse is sharply struck with well-defined raised ridges dividing the four sections. This type of reverse is characteristic of archaic Greek coinage of the late sixth to early fifth century BC, serving as a functional countermark rather than a pictorial design. |
