背面描述	Quadripartite incuse square divided into four roughly equal triangular sections by diagonal grooves meeting at the centre, forming a mill-sail or windmill pattern characteristic of early Greek hammered coinage. The incuse is deeply struck and occupies virtually the entire reverse field. No legend or secondary device is present. The technique reflects the standard archaic punch method employed for small fractional silver issues of the eastern Aegean region.

附加信息	Kyme, the principal Aeolian city on the western coast of Asia Minor, issued these fractional silvers during a period when even the smallest commercial transactions required a physical medium of exchange. At 0.22 g, the tetartemorion represented one-quarter of an obol — itself already a minor fraction — placing it among the smallest denominations struck in the ancient Greek world. Several Aeolian mints produced coins at this scale, but Kyme's issues are distinguished by consistent fabric and a reasonably stable weight standard across the series.
