| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
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.
