Reverse description A stylized grape arbor or vine trellis depicted within a linear square frame, referencing the celebrated viticulture of the Maroneia region. The design is set within a shallow incuse square, a hallmark of early northern Greek coinage technique. The magistrate's name inscription is arranged in four segments around the central vine motif, reading ΕΠΙΚ / ΑΛΛ / ΙΚΡΑ / ΤΕΟΣ in Greek characters, identifying the issuing official Kallikrates. The incuse square imparts a characteristic concave depth to the reverse field.
