Western Asia Minor, uncertain mint AR Hemidrachm. 5th century BC. Forepart of chimaera right, uncertain legend (..ΛSSAS..[?])above / Facing gorgoneion within incuse square. Boston MFA 2325 = Greenwell, Some 2; M. Six, "Monnaies grecques, inédites et incertaines," NC 1890, p. 235, 16-16bis. 2.13g, 11mm, 12h.

Good Very Fine. Very Rare, unseen with legend on flan.

From the Kleines Meisterwerk Collection.

This is the only example of this type where the legend above the chimaera is on the flan. Perhaps it is a city ethnic; a more distinct example might allow for identification of the minting location of this issue.
