| 表面の説明 | Plain, irregularly globular electrum surface typical of the earliest archaic coinage of western Asia Minor. A faint radiate or star-like pattern is faintly impressed at the center of the slightly convex flan, with no legend or figural device. The surface retains the characteristic granular texture of hammered electrum, with natural flow lines and an uneven, lumpy profile consistent with primitive coining techniques of the late 7th century BC. |

| 裏面の説明 | Incuse square punch with a divided, mill-sail or quadripartite pattern formed by intersecting diagonal ridges, characteristic of early Ionian electrum coinage. The incuse is deeply struck within a roughly square boundary, with the ridges creating four triangular compartments. The flan edges are irregular and raised, framing the incuse punch in a manner typical of archaic Asia Minor electrum fractions of the late 7th to early 6th century BC. No legend or inscription is present. |

Among the earliest coined money ever produced, these fractional electrum pieces from the Ionian coastal cities predate any standardized monetary authority — they were likely issued by individual merchant groups or civic bodies whose identities are now irrecoverable. At 1/48th of a stater, the denomination served everyday small transactions at a moment when coinage itself was barely a generation old. The natural electrum alloy, sourced from Lydian river deposits, varied in gold-to-silver ratio from piece to piece, meaning no two coins of this type were strictly equivalent in intrinsic value.
