Beschrijving keerzijde Plain incuse square punch of irregular quadrilateral form, deeply struck into the reverse flan, exhibiting a rough, undecorated surface characteristic of archaic Greek hammered coinage. The punch appears to show a very faint outline of a figural motif, though the strike is too rough to resolve detail with certainty. This incuse technique is consistent with early Greek minting practice of the late 7th to mid-6th century BC.

Aanvullende informatie

Thera — modern Santorini — was a Spartan colony, and its coinage reflects that lineage: sparse, uncompromising, and struck to the Aeginetan weight standard that dominated the Aegean trading world before Athens imposed its own. The island produced relatively little silver coinage, constrained by the absence of local ore deposits and dependent entirely on trade flows through one of the ancient Mediterranean's most strategically positioned harbors.

Archaic staters of this pedigree are genuinely rare in any condition.
