| Reverse description | A deep, sunken incuse square divided into eight triangular compartments by diagonal and horizontal-vertical incised lines, forming a mill-sail or pinwheel pattern. The incuse is sharply struck and recessed, occupying the full reverse field, consistent with early Greek coinage technique of the late Archaic period. The triangular sections alternate between raised and recessed planes, creating a dynamic geometric composition. No legend or additional device is present. |
