Hekte

Phokaia's electrum hektai were struck under a remarkable arrangement: the city shared minting rights with Mytilene on Lesbos through a formal agreement, with each city alternating issues on a fixed schedule. This Phokaian series continued until 387 BC, when the Peace of Antalcidas handed the Ionian Greek cities back to Persian control, effectively ending the independent civic coinage that had made Phokaia one of the most prolific electrum-issuing mints in the Aegean. Bodenstedt 95 falls late in the sequence.
