| Obverse description | A spotted stag advancing to the right with head lowered in a naturalistic grazing pose, rendered in relief with carefully incised surface markings denoting the animal's dappled coat. The stag's legs are depicted in motion, conveying a sense of fluid movement characteristic of early Archaic Greek coin engraving. A retrograde archaic Greek inscription, reading ΦΑΝΕΟΣ, is disposed around the stag in the field, identifying this as the coinage of Phanes. The flan is irregular and bean-shaped, typical of the earliest electrum coinage of Ionia, with a slightly convex obverse surface. The artistic style reflects the bold, stylized naturalism of late 7th-century Lydian and Ionian die-cutting. |
