| Obverse description | Plain, convex globular surface of electrum with no discernible figural type, exhibiting a smooth, unmarked field characteristic of the earliest Ionian coinage. The flan is irregular and lens-shaped, struck without a die device, reflecting the primitive monetary technology of the archaic period. Faint surface marks and flow lines are visible, consistent with the casting and hammering process used for early electrum issues. |
