| Reverse description | The reverse displays a quadripartite incuse square, divided into four recessed compartments arranged in a swastika-like pattern, a hallmark feature of early Kyzikene electrum coinage. The incuse is deeply struck, with alternating raised and recessed quadrants creating a distinctive mill-sail or windmill appearance. The surface within the compartments is granular and irregular, consistent with the hammered production technique. The flan edges are irregular and show slight cracking typical of the electrum alloy used at Kyzikos. No legend or inscription is present. |
