Stater

正面描述	Forepart of a lion advancing to the right, rendered in high relief with finely articulated mane depicted as a series of deeply engraved, flowing striations. The lion's mouth is open in a roar, revealing the tongue, with a pronounced round eye and a curling forelock above. The right forepaw is raised and extended forward, with visible claws. The truncation of the body is rendered with a row of pellets or beads along the lower border, a characteristic feature of Ionian electrum coinage of the early fifth century BC. The flan is broad and irregular, typical of the Lydo-Milesian weight standard.

附加信息	Electrum staters from uncertain Ionian mints in this period present one of the more stubborn attribution problems in Greek numismatics — decades of scholarship have failed to assign many types conclusively to a single city, partly because the Ionian leagues and their member poleis shared artistic conventions and, in some cases, possibly shared dies. The decades bracketing 500–480 BC also coincide with the Ionian Revolt against Achaemenid rule and its brutal suppression, which disrupted minting across the region and likely displaced both craftsmen and bullion supplies.
