Electrum hektai from uncertain Ionian mints occupy one of the most contested corners of early Greek numismatics. The attribution problem is genuine — without inscriptions and with shared compositional ranges across the Lydian-Ionian border zone, dozens of these small fractions have circulated through scholarship under three or four different city attributions before settling into the "uncertain" category where most honestly belong.
Weidauer's 1975 corpus remains the foundation for this series, though subsequent die studies have quietly reshuffled several of her groupings.
