| Reverse description | A plain circular border encloses a four-spoked wheel with a small central pellet boss, the spokes dividing the field into four quadrants. The Greek letters M and A appear in the lower two quadrants, serving as an abbreviated ethnic for Massalia. The overall design is schematic and bold, consistent with the abbreviated civic types characteristic of Massalian small silver denominations throughout the Hellenistic period. |
