| Beschrijving keerzijde | Quadripartite incuse square divided into four triangular sections by a saltire cross, each alternate compartment recessed to create a windmill or pinwheel effect characteristic of early archaic Greek coinage. The incuse is deeply struck and well-centered within the broadly circular flan. The four triangular fields are alternately raised and recessed, producing a bold geometric pattern. No legend or inscription is present. This style of incuse reverse is typical of Aegean island coinage of the late Archaic period, circa 510–480 BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Karthaia occupied the southeastern coast of Keos, one of the Cycladic islands closest to Attica, and its coinage emerges in the late Archaic period when several Kean cities were producing independent issues simultaneously. The stater type referenced under HGC 6, 540 belongs to an early phase of that civic output, predating the political consolidation that would eventually bring the island's poleis into closer alignment with Athenian interests after the Persian Wars.
Keos as a whole fell under Athenian influence by the mid-fifth century, and the independent coinage of its constituent cities grew increasingly rare thereafter.
