| Beschrijving voorzijde | Forepart of a roaring lion advancing to the left, rendered in bold archaic relief with strong angular stylization characteristic of early Ionian coinage. The lion's mane is depicted as a series of incised radiating strokes fanning dramatically across the upper field, while the eye is rendered as a prominent raised pellet. The powerful musculature of the chest and forelimbs is conveyed through deeply cut geometric forms. No legend or inscription appears in the field; the flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with early hammered electrum production. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Deeply impressed incuse square punch occupying the full reverse field, divided into multiple compartments by raised ridges in a roughly quadripartite pattern, typical of the earliest archaic Greek coinage technique. The incuse shows an irregular, striated texture with raised bosses and angular projections resulting from the hammered die application. No figural or inscriptional elements are present. The overall appearance is characteristic of the mill-sail or divided incuse type associated with uncertain Ionian electrum hektes of the mid-sixth century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
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.
