背面描述	Deep quadripartite incuse square occupying the full reverse field, divided into four roughly equal recessed compartments by a raised cross-shaped ridge, characteristic of early Archaic Greek electrum coinage struck by the incuse punch technique. The individual quarters display irregular granular textures resulting from the hammering process. No legend or additional device is present; the stark geometric composition is entirely typical of Kyzikene electrum staters of this period.

附加信息	Kyzikos was the dominant source of electrum coinage in the Greek world throughout the fifth and fourth centuries, and its staters functioned as a de facto international trade currency across the Aegean and Black Sea regions. The city's electrum was natural alloy sourced from river deposits, giving each issue a slightly variable gold-to-silver ratio — a fact ancient merchants understood and priced accordingly. Athenian naval accounts and temple treasuries both record Kyzikenoi as a standard unit of reckoning. The Von Fritze corpus remains the essential reference, though attribution of individual dies continues to be revised as new specimens surface from the Pontic trade zone.
