| Reverse description | Deep quadripartite incuse square formed by two intersecting raised bars dividing the field into four recessed compartments, each exhibiting alternating patterns of granular and smooth textures produced by the hammer punch. This punched incuse reverse is a hallmark of early Archaic Greek coinage technique, providing a countermark to the obverse die and confirming the silver content of the flan. The overall form is that of a mill-sail or windmill pattern incuse, typical of Ionian staters of this period. |
