Mysia, Kyzikos EL Stater. Circa 500-450 BC. Janiform head of nymph wearing stephane, and satyr; tunny fish below to right / Quadripartite incuse square. Cf. Von Fritze 76 (hekte); cf. Greenwell 47 (hekte); cf. Boston MFA 1426 = Warren 1466 (hekte); SNG France -; BMC -. 16.10g, 19mm.
Good Very Fine. Apparently unique and unpublished.
This beautiful coin appears to be the only stater denomination of this issue known to have survived. Unusually for Kyzikene electrum, rather than faithfully reproducing the type in larger scale, on this design the two heads' positions are reversed, with the nymph now on the right, and the satyr on the left.
