| Aversbeschreibung | Head of a roaring lion facing left in high relief, rendered in the archaic Greek artistic style with exaggerated mane depicted as a radiating array of stylized, pointed locks framing the face. The lion's features are boldly modeled, with an open mouth, prominent eye, and deeply incised facial details characteristic of early Phokaian electrum coinage. The design fills the irregular flan, with the mane extending nearly to the coin's edge. No legend or inscription is present in the field. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Incuse quadripartite square punch, divided into four recessed compartments by a raised cross, with alternating raised and sunken sections creating a windmill or pinwheel pattern. This hallmark reverse type is characteristic of early Ionian electrum hektes struck by Phokaia, serving as a guarantor punch rather than a pictorial design. The square punch is deeply impressed and centrally placed on the flan. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Phokaia was among the earliest Greek cities to strike electrum coinage, and its hektes circulated widely through Ionian trade networks long before the Persian conquest disrupted the city's commercial dominance. The natural alloy used here — sourced from Lydian river deposits rather than artificially blended — means the gold-to-silver ratio varies between individual specimens, a fact Bodenstedt's die study had to account for when establishing type boundaries.
Bodenstedt 36 falls within the period bracketed by Darius I's consolidation of Ionian control and the aftermath of the Ionian Revolt, when Phokaia's output contracted sharply.
