PAMPHYLIA, Aspendos. Circa 465-430 BC. AR Stater (21.5mm, 10.92 g, 6h). Warrior advancing right, holding shield and spear; tortoise between legs / Triskeles; EΣT above; below, lion at bay left; all within incuse square. SNG BN 13 (same dies). VF, struck from worn dies, overstruck on a stater from an uncertain mint in southern Asia Minor (see CNG 109, lot 190 [an unpublished issue]).

The presence of the overstrike here suggests why the CNG 109 piece was not previously published--perhaps it was a limited issue that was largely overstruck at a later time (likely a significant reason we often find coins of previously unknown types in archaic hoards).
