| 裏面の説明 | A large central rectangular incuse punch flanked on each side by a smaller square incuse punch, forming a tripartite incuse design. The punches are decorated with an arrangement of pellets and irregular incised strokes distributed across their recessed surfaces, a hallmark of early electrum coinage produced under the Lydo-Milesian weight standard. The incuse impressions were created by the hammering of punches into the plain reverse of the flan during striking. The overall composition is asymmetric and characteristic of the transitional period between uninscribed punched reverses and more developed reverse types in archaic Greek coinage. |

The Weidauer 131–132 attribution places this piece among the earliest phase of Greek coinage, predating the adoption of silver as the dominant monetary metal in Ionia. Electrum — the naturally occurring gold-silver alloy found in the riverbeds of Lydia — was the material of first choice precisely because it required no refining to a fixed standard, though its variable composition made trust in the issuing authority essential.
The uncertain civic attribution is genuine, not a cataloging gap. Many early Ionian staters circulated across city boundaries without the kind of identifying inscription that later coinage would carry, making definitive assignment to a single polis effectively impossible.
