Beschrijving voorzijde A stylized fleur-de-lis ornament (lily-shaped device) occupies the central field of the obverse, rendered in low relief with three upward-pointing petals flanked by curved sepals and a rounded base lobe. The design is characteristic of archaic Ionian decorative vocabulary and is struck on a naturally irregular electrum flan. The surface shows the typical granular texture and gentle convexity of early hammered electrum coinage. No legend or inscription is present.

Aanvullende informatie

The precise attribution of early Ionian electrum hektes remains one of the more contentious problems in archaic numismatics. Without a controlling authority's name or a known civic symbol to anchor it, pieces like this one circulate through the scholarship assigned tentatively to one city, then another. The natural electrum alloy varied in gold-to-silver ratio depending on the river source — Lydian rivers like the Pactolus produced a different composition than sources further west — and metallurgical analysis has increasingly become the primary tool for narrowing attribution where typology fails.
