| Beschrijving keerzijde | A quadripartite incuse square divided into four equal rectangular compartments by two perpendicular lines, each compartment filled with a granulated or stippled texture. The incuse is deeply struck and covers virtually the entire reverse flan, a hallmark of early Thraco-Macedonian coinage technique. The irregular flan edge is characteristic of hand-struck hammered coinage of the archaic and early classical period. No legend or additional devices are present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Akanthos, a Macedonian coastal colony founded by settlers from Andros, derived its wealth almost entirely from its position near the timber-rich forests of the Chalkidike and the silver mines of the surrounding region. The city struck aggressively during the late fifth century, when Athenian imperial pressure on the northern Aegean was beginning to fracture — Akanthos was among the cities that revolted from the Delian League in 424 BC, an act that briefly reshaped the political geography of Thrace.
The SNG ANS 7 series documents considerable die variation across this denomination, reflecting sustained output over a long production window rather than a single organized issue.
