| Obverse description | Forepart of a lion advancing to the right, rendered in a bold, archaic style characteristic of early Lydian coinage. The lion's mane is depicted with deeply striated parallel lines, and the musculature of the shoulder and foreleg is rendered in low relief. The head is shown in profile facing right, with the mouth slightly open revealing stylized dentition. The flan is irregularly shaped, as typical of this early electrum series, with no legend or inscription present in the field. |
