| Reverse description | A quadripartite incuse square occupying the full reverse field, produced by the punch used to drive the flan against the obverse die during hammering. The square is divided into four roughly equal recessed compartments by a raised cross-shaped ridge, creating the characteristic windmill or swastika-like pattern seen on many early Greek electrum issues. The incuse is deeply struck and well-centred on the irregular flan, with the raised ridges sharply defined. No legend, symbol, or additional device is present. This type of reverse is standard for Archaic-period Greek coinage and reflects the earliest stage of die-struck monetary production. |
