DYNASTS OF LYCIA. Protodynastic Period, circa 490-430 BC. Sixth stater (Silver, 12 mm, 1.55 g, 7 h). Forepart of a boar to right. Rev. Sea turtle with collar within an incuse square lined by pellets. Apparently unpublished, but see the corresponding staters as SNG Copenhagen Suppl. 385-386 and SNG von Aulock 4072 ff. (all have segmented-shelled tortoises rather than the smooth-shelled turtle shown here). Very rare, lightly toned and with very well- and elegantly engraved types. Slightly rough surfaces and somewhat lightly struck, otherwise, about extremely fine.
