IONIA. Uncertain mint. Circa 625-600 BC. 1/96 Stater (Electrum, 4.5 mm, 0.16 g). Head of a lion with open jaws to left. Rev. Irregular quadripartite incuse square. Apparently unpublished, GRPC -. Traité -. Weidauer -. Seemingly unknown. A curious coin. Struck slightly off-center, otherwise, good very fine.
Ex Rosenblum 26G, 14 November 1996, 1 and, supposedly, ex H.J.Berk and J. Rosen.
This coin was sold as being from Phokaia and having a griffin's head facing right on the obverse. Unfortunately, while it may vaguely look like that if the open jaws are viewed on the right, if they are placed on the left - as they should be - the head is clearly that of a maned lion!
