| Beschrijving voorzijde | Confronted foreparts of a lion and a bull in shallow relief, the lion advancing to the right and the bull to the left, their heads meeting at centre. The design is rendered in the archaic Lydian artistic style, with bold, simplified forms characteristic of the Kroisos coinage. The flan is irregularly shaped and the surfaces display the granular texture typical of early electrum and silver issues from Sardis. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kroisos of Lydia is credited with introducing the first true bimetallic currency system — separate gold and electrum staters alongside silver fractions — a reform that severed coinage from the variable alloy electrum and gave traders a predictable exchange ratio between metals. This tiny fraction, one-sixteenth of a stater, represents the smallest practical denomination in that system. The kingdom fell to Cyrus the Great in 546 BC, abruptly ending production after little more than a decade.
