Ionia, uncertain mint EL Hekte - 1/6 Stater. Circa 600-550 BC. Phocaean standard. Ibex, or goat, kneeling to left, head turned back to right / Quadripartite incuse square. Gemini VI, 158 (same dies); Nomos 12, 95 (same dies). 2.71g, 11mm.
Mint State. Unpublished in the standard references, and the third known example.
From a private German collection.
A charming example of a quite unusual issue; coins minted on the Phokaic standard outside of Phokaia in the early 6th century are quite rare. From comparison with the other two known specimens, this issue seems to be part of the raised disc (shield) series of coins.
