| Reverse description | A bird — identified in numismatic literature as a raven or crow — depicted standing to right with wings folded and head turned slightly downward, set within a shallow incuse square formed by the hammer strike of the reverse die. The incuse square is recessed and roughly quadrilateral, a characteristic feature of early Greek silver coinage produced by the incuse punch technique. The bird is rendered in relief against the incuse field, with tail feathers and leg detail visible. No legend or additional devices are present. |
