| Reverse description | Quadripartite incuse square divided by a raised cross into four equal sunken rectangular compartments, each deeply recessed into the flan; a bold and geometric design characteristic of the earliest phase of Syracusan tetradrachm coinage, reflecting the influence of South Italian incuse coinage conventions. The surface within each quadrant is plain and unadorned. The overall execution is precise, with sharply defined ridges forming the dividing cross. |
