| Beschrijving keerzijde | A scorpion depicted in full dorsal view, rendered with considerable detail within a shallow incuse square punch. The chelae, walking legs, and segmented abdomen are clearly articulated in low relief, a common civic badge associated with Mylasa. The incuse punch is characteristic of early Archaic Greek hammered coinage technique. |

Mylasa, a Carian city well inland from the Aegean coast, was an unlikely early adopter of coinage — yet these fractional electrum pieces appear among the earliest monetized exchanges in the region, predating Persian administrative consolidation of Caria under satrapal control. At 0.23 grams, the practical ceiling for this denomination was probably single-transaction temple commerce or small mercenary advance payments, the kind of micro-economy that larger Greek poleis never bothered to document.
The SNG Kayhan specimens were sourced largely from the Erwin Oppenländer collection, giving this reference unusual provenance depth for so obscure a type.
