| Reverse description | Quadripartite incuse square divided into four recessed triangular sections by raised diagonal ridges meeting at the centre, a hallmark of early Greek hammered coinage technique. The incuse is deeply struck with irregular but well-defined compartments, consistent with the standard reverse type employed on electrum staters of Kyzikos throughout the archaic period. |
