ID:     73000418 Type:     Greek Region:     UNCERTAIN ASIA MINOR City:     Uncertain Asia Minor Metal:     Electrum Denomination:     EL Hekte Struck / Cast:     struck Date Struck:     BC Circa 600-550 Weight:     2.76 g Obverse Description:     Forepart of lion right Reverse Description:     Incuse square Primary Reference:     Unpublished Photograph Credit:     Classical Numismatic Group Source:     http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=90902 Grade:     VF, struck with slightly worn dies. Notes:     Sale: CNG 73, Lot: 418 This coin is likely a product of a mint in Ionia or Caria. The style of the lion is similar to those found on the coins of Miletos, Knidos, and Lindos. Of these cities, however, only Miletos has known electrum coinage, but the design in the Miletos incuses is distinctly different from this coin. The incuse on this coin is most similar to those of Samos. While Samos has electrum coinage with lion types, none of these types are similar to that on the present coin.
