Mysia, Kyzikos EL Stater. Circa 450-330 BC. Head of nymph to right, hair in ampyx and sakkos; tunny fish below to right / Quadripartite incuse square. Von Fritze I, 136; Greenwell 85; Boston MFA 1508 = Warren 1501; SNG BnF -; BMC -; Gillet -; Gulbenkian -; Jameson -; Weber -; Myrmekeion 30. 16.09g, 20mm.

Very Fine. Of the greatest rarity; only one other example auctioned in the past two decades, and Greenwell only references the Warren coin in Boston, which is also the coin von Fritze illustrates - this example then is apparently only the third known.

From the Collection of GK, Ukrainian Emigrant.
