Obverse description Crude but distinctive device occupying the entire field, depicting what appears to be a recumbent or crouching animal figure — likely a lion or similar beast — rendered in the archaic Ionian style characteristic of the earliest electrum coinage. The design is executed in low relief with broad, simplified planes typical of seventh- to sixth-century BC Anatolian monetary art. No legend or inscription is present, consistent with the pre-epigraphic phase of Greek coinage. The flan is small, irregular, and convex, produced by the standard dump method of the period. The field is unbordered, with the device extending nearly to the edge of the planchet.
