ID:     806149      [UNVERIFIED] Type:     Greek Region:     LYCIA City:     Phaselis Date Ruled:     Circa 550-530/20 BC Metal:     Silver Denomination:     Stater Struck / Cast:     struck Date Struck:     BC Circa 550-530/20 Diameter:     20 mm Weight:     10.82 g Obverse Description:     Prow of galley right, terminating in a boar's forepart Reverse Description:     Rough incuse square Primary Reference:     Apparently unpublished Photograph Credit:     Classical Numismatic Group Source:     http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=117822 Grade:     EF, toned Notes:     Unique example from a new early series at Phaselis. This unpublished type falls between Heipp-Tamer’s series 1 and 2. The style of the prow is closely similar to series 1, and quite unlike the following series. At the same time, the incuse is most like that of series 2, as is the flan, which is more thin and broad than series 1. The coins of this and the preceding lots are part of a small but very interesting series of early archaic staters that share a fabric very similar to the early archaic staters associated with the Greek mainland and Aegean Islands.
