| 表面の説明 | Lion depicted in left-facing stance with head dramatically reverted to the right, rendered in archaic Greek style with bold, schematic musculature. The tail is swept upward and curved over the dorsal surface of the body in a characteristic early Ionian convention. The device occupies the full flan, with the naturalistic yet stylized treatment of the animal typical of electrum coinage from the Lydian-Ionian sphere, circa 600–550 BC. No legends or inscriptions are present in the field. |

| 裏面の説明 | Deeply struck quadripartite incuse square dominating the entire reverse, divided into four recessed triangular sections by two diagonal grooves intersecting at the center, creating an X-shaped pattern within the incuse punch. The incuse is irregular in outline, consistent with early hand-struck archaic technique, and shows no additional devices, symbols, or inscriptions. This reverse type is characteristic of the earliest electrum coinage attributed to uncertain Ionian minting authorities of the late seventh and early sixth centuries BC. |

Among the earliest struck coins in existence, electrum fractions from uncertain Ionian mints date to the period when coinage itself was barely an established technology. The issuing authority here is genuinely unknown — dozens of small Lydian and Greek coastal cities were producing similar pieces simultaneously, and attribution remains contested among specialists. Herodotus credits the Lydians with the invention of coinage, though the Greeks of Ionia were almost certainly parallel participants rather than passive recipients of the practice.
