| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing head of a lion or panther rendered in bold, archaic relief occupying the full flan, with prominently modeled muzzle, deeply incised facial musculature, and schematically treated mane rendered as a series of raised, curvilinear locks. The visage is presented en face, a typological hallmark of early Ionian electrum coinage, conveying an imposing, almost apotropaic character. The surface shows characteristic hammer-struck irregularity consistent with the archaic Lydian-Ionian minting tradition. No legend or inscription is present in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Among the earliest struck coins known to survive, these Ionian hektes predate the standardization efforts of Lydia and the Greek poleis that would follow within a generation. The issuing authority remains unresolved — the absence of a civic badge or ethnic has kept attributions shifting between Miletus, Ephesus, and unnamed workshop intermediaries for over a century of scholarship. Weidauer's grouping of 160–161 placed these alongside related types on stylistic grounds rather than any epigraphic evidence.
The Rosen and Kayhan specimens anchor the type's die distribution across two of the more rigorously documented private collections of archaic electrum.
