| Beschrijving keerzijde | A deeply recessed quadripartite incuse square, divided into four equal rectangular compartments by raised ridges meeting at the centre, each recess exhibiting a distinctive granulated or stippled texture produced by the hammering technique. The overall design is characteristic of the early archaic coinage of northern Greek cities, where the incuse square served both as a functional die-backing device and as a decorative reverse type. No inscription or additional device is present. The square is well-centred on the flan with sharp, clearly defined dividing lines. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Akanthos, a Macedonian coastal colony founded by Andrians, derived its considerable wealth from timber and silver from the mines of the surrounding Chalkidike — wealth visible in the quality and consistency of its coinage through the fifth century. The tetrobol sits below the more frequently encountered tetradrachm series in the denominational hierarchy, and survives in far smaller numbers, almost certainly reflecting lower production volumes rather than heavier circulation loss.
