Reverse description Irregular incuse punch of quadripartite design, showing a deeply recessed square divided into triangular sections by diagonal lines, characteristic of the early hammered coinage technique employed in Caria and the surrounding region during the late Archaic period. The surface within the incuse is rough and uneven, consistent with the hand-struck production method. No figurative design or inscription is present on this face.
