Ionia, uncertain mint EL Hemihekte. Circa 560 BC. Forepart of panther to left, head facing / Incuse punch with irregular surface. Aufhäuser 10, 1993, lot 167 (same dies) = Peus 372, 2002, lot 491 (same dies) = NAC 84, 2015, lot 658 (same dies); otherwise unpublished. 1.11g, 8mm.
Extremely Fine; struck on a full flan. Extremely Rare; the second known example of the type.
From a private English collection.
This hemihekte is part of a series of electrum staters, trites, hektes, hemihektes, and twenty-fourth staters (cf. Weidauer 156-65) that all bear types based on the panther on the obverse and have incuse punches with an irregular surface on the reverse. Although they cannot be attributed with certainty to one particular mint, Miletos and Samos are considered likely candidates.
