| Beschrijving voorzijde | Lion crouching left in the act of devouring its prey, rendered in archaic style with bold, confident lines characteristic of the early Thraco-Macedonian coinage tradition. A lotus flower appears in the upper field above the feline, while a circular ornamental device occupies the lower field beneath. The design is executed with considerable artistic detail, emphasizing the predatory vigor of the lion. No legend or inscription is present in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Thraco-Macedonian region in the late archaic period was not a unified political entity but a patchwork of tribal minting authorities, Greek colonial settlements, and local dynasts who gained access to silver almost exclusively through the rich ore deposits of Mount Pangaion and the Strymon valley. Several issues from this zone remain unattributed after more than a century of scholarship — the BostonMFA#70 piece among them. Attribution attempts have cycled through Lete, Ichnai, and Tragilos without consensus.
