| Reverse description | Two deep, irregular incuse square punches divide the reverse into distinct recessed compartments, a hallmark of early archaic Greek electrum coinage struck with a bifurcated punch. The punches are roughly rectangular and arranged side by side, each exhibiting a rough, striated interior surface created by the die punch tool. No figural or epigraphic elements are present on the reverse. The overall surface retains the characteristic uneven texture of hammered electrum, with the flan edges showing natural flow lines from the casting process. |
