| Reverse description | Incuse square of mill-sail or quadripartite design, divided into four equal compartments by a raised linear cross, itself enclosing a smaller recessed square at centre, characteristic of the standard Abderitan reverse type. The ethnic legend ΑΒΔΗΡΙΤΕΩΝ is distributed in Greek letters around the four outer sides of the incuse square, one or two letters per side. The deeply recessed incuse field contrasts sharply with the raised obverse design, a technique typical of early Classical Thracian silver coinage. The overall composition is boldly geometric and precisely executed within a plain circular border. |
