| 表面の説明 | Facing forepart of a lion's head in bold relief, turned slightly to the right, rendered in the archaic Lydian artistic style. The jaws are depicted open, conveying ferocity, with clearly defined teeth visible. A distinctive globule, interpreted as a wart or solar symbol, is prominently placed on the forehead above the bridge of the muzzle. The eye is rendered as a raised circular boss, characteristic of early electrum coinage of the Lydian kingdom. The flan is irregular and the relief, though compact given the diminutive size, displays a high degree of craftsmanship for the period. |

These fractional electrum pieces were struck under Alyattes II, the Lydian king credited by most ancient sources — Herodotus among them — with formalizing coinage as a state instrument. The 1/48 stater denomination served small daily transactions in a monetizing economy that had not yet settled on silver. Electrum, the naturally occurring gold-silver alloy sourced from the Pactolus River sands, varied enough in fineness that Alyattes' administration began controlling alloy composition — a problem his son Croesus would eventually solve by separating the metals entirely into pure gold and silver denominations.
