| Beschrijving keerzijde | Deep quadripartite incuse square divided by a raised cross into four recessed compartments, each with a rough, granular surface resulting from the punch technique employed at this early period. The incuse design is characteristic of archaic northern Greek coinage and was used as the reverse type throughout the early issues of Argilos, serving both a functional and aesthetic role in the striking process. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Argilos was a Thasian colony on the Strymon River in Thrace, positioned to control trade routes into the silver-rich interior — a geographic advantage that explains why a settlement of its modest size was striking tetradrachms at all. The city later betrayed its Athenian colonists at Amphipolis to Brasidas in 424 BC, an act that effectively ended its independent political significance.
Issues attributable to this mint are rare enough that the Lockett specimen remained a primary reference point for decades.
