| Beschrijving keerzijde | A square incuse punch divided diagonally into four triangular sections by two crossing lines forming an X-pattern, creating alternating raised and recessed quadrants. This deeply struck incuse square is a hallmark of early Thraco-Macedonian coinage of the late archaic period, serving as the anvil die impression. The interior surface of each triangular compartment displays a rough, granular texture characteristic of the hammered technique employed at this time. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lete was a small settlement in the Thermaic Gulf region of ancient Macedonia, and its coinage — produced during a narrow window before Persian consolidation under Xerxes disrupted mint activity across Thrace and Macedonia — is notable for its unusually accomplished die-cutting relative to the community's modest political standing. The city disappears from the numismatic record almost entirely after 480 BC.
The SNG ANS and BMC references cite only a handful of specimens, and die links across those examples suggest very limited production runs.
