Asia Minor, uncertain mint EL Hekte - 1/6 Stater. Circa 625-600 BC. Phokaic standard. Head of ram to left / Quadripartite incuse square. SNG von Aulock 7775; cf. SNG Kayhan 1565 (1/24 stater); otherwise unpublished. 2.73g, 10mm.
Extremely Fine.
The motif of the ram's head is known from several electrum issues, but in rather different styles than seen on the present coin (cf. Weidauer 50 & Boston MFA 1756), and thus this issue might often be catalogued as being from Ionia. In contrast, Classical Numismatic Group have postulated that this issue might be from Kebren in Troas, due to the striking similarity of style to the early silver issues of that mint.
