| Reverse description | Eagle displayed in flight to the left, with wings fully spread and tail feathers finely rendered, depicted within a linear square border set within a deep incuse square — the hallmark technique of early Abderite coinage. The Greek magistrate legend ΕΚΑΤΑΙΟΣ (Hekataios) is distributed around the four sides of the inner linear square, reading across the field. The incuse is deeply struck and crisply defined. |
