| Reverse description | A raised quadripartite incuse square subdivided into four triangular sections by diagonal lines, set within a shallow outer incuse square of larger dimensions, a hallmark of early Abderite coinage technique. The Greek legend naming the magistrate Hippon is inscribed around the raised central square, reading ΕΠ ΙΠΠΩΝΟΣ, indicating the eponymous magistrate responsible for the issue. The incuse reverse treatment is typical of the archaic and early Classical coinage of Abdera, reflecting influence from Thasian and broader northern Aegean minting traditions. |
