| Beschrijving keerzijde | Quadripartite incuse square divided into four triangular sections by diagonal lines, with one quarter rendered partially in relief and partially incuse, creating a distinctive sunken geometric pattern. This incuse reverse type is characteristic of early Greek coinage influenced by Pythagorean or Aeginetan monetary conventions. The stark geometric design contrasts with the figural obverse and is a hallmark of archaic Thracian Chersonesian staters attributed to the era of Miltiades II. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Miltiades II governed the Thracian Chersonesos as a tyrant under Achaemenid suzerainty before fleeing Persian forces around 493 BC — the same man who would later command the Athenian forces at Marathon in 490 BC. Coinage struck under his authority in the Chersonesos represents one of the few instances where a named Athenian military figure can be directly associated with a specific issuing authority outside Attica.
