Ionia, uncertain mint EL Hekte. Circa 600-550 BC. Tortoise with segmented shell, seen from above / Irregular incuse punch. Unpublished in the standard references. 2.36g, 10mm.
About Extremely Fine. Apparently unpublished in the standard references; possibly unique.
From the A.F. Collection, Germany.
Evidently struck somewhere in Ionia, on account of the similarity of the reverse incuse punch with those of other Ionian cities, this coin features an obverse that bears some similarity to the (later) staters of Aegina, albeit with some significant stylistic differences.
