| Reverse description | A deeply struck incuse square, characteristic of early Macedonian and Thracian coinage, is divided into four equal quadrants by a raised cross, each quadrant containing a granulated or pellet-studded sunken panel creating a striking chequered pattern. The ethnic legend ΑΚΑΝΘΙΟΝ is distributed around the incuse square, with letters placed in the four interstitial spaces between the square and the coin's edge: ΑΚΑ across the top, Ζ on each side, and ΟΙ at the bottom, the full legend reading ΑΚΑΝΘΙΟΝ denoting the city of Akanthos in Thrace. |
