| Reverse description | The reverse presents a quadripartite incuse square, deeply recessed into the flan and divided by raised ridges into four roughly equal rectangular compartments, as visible on the coin image. The incuse punch is characteristic of early Greek hammered coinage technique, producing a bold geometric pattern. The surface within each compartment displays the irregular granular texture typical of electrum staters struck at Kyzikos. No legend or subsidiary devices are present. |
