| Beschrijving voorzijde | A swastika symbol rendered in raised relief occupies the central field of the flan, its four arms extending toward the coin's edges in a rectilinear configuration. Small pellets are positioned around the swastika, likely at the cardinal points or in the angles between the arms, serving as decorative or apotropaic fillers. The design is executed in a bold, archaic style characteristic of early Ionian electrum and silver coinage. No legend or inscription is present. The irregular flan and shallow relief are consistent with the primitive striking technique of the late seventh century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ionia in this period was a patchwork of minting authority — Miletus, Ephesus, Phocaea, and smaller poleis all striking electrum and early silver with no standardized iconographic language yet established. Without a secure attribution, this piece sits in a contested scholarly zone where typology, fabric, and die-axis studies do most of the work. The diobol denomination itself suggests a functioning local weight standard, most likely Milesian, which dominated coastal Ionian commercial exchange before Persian administrative pressure reorganized regional monetary practice after 547 BC.
