| Reverse description | A single large, deep incuse rectangular punch occupying the majority of the reverse field, produced by the application of a square punch during the hammering process. Within the incuse depression, faint incised lines and irregular surface markings are visible, characteristic of the single-punch technique employed at the Sardis mint under Kroisos. The surrounding field rises sharply to the coin's edge, presenting the typical domed, unworked surface of a Lydian hammered stater. No legend, inscription, or secondary device is present. |
