MYSIA. Kyzikos. EL Stater (16.06 gms), ca. 550-450 B.C. NGC VF★, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 5/5.
Nomisma-VII, 90; cf. Boston MFA-1465 (hekte); cf. SNG BN-225-6 (same). Obverse: Female boar standing left on tunny left; Reverse: Quadripartite incuse square. A VERY RARE type, this example presents far better centering than is generally encountered, and a strike that is on a fairly round flan for issue. Both of these aspects combine to garner a well deserved star designation for eye appeal.
