IONIA. Uncertain city. 6th century BC. 1/24 Stater (Electrum, 6.5 mm, 0.66 g). Lion's head facing. Rev. Quadripartite incuse square. Bodenstedt -. Hilbert -. Cf. Klein 416 ( incuse punch not quadripartite ). Rosen -. Cf. SNG Kayhan 713 ( incuse punch not quadripartite ). Wiedauer -. Seemingly unpublished. Nicely centered. Very fine.

With all the many facing lion's head electrum fractions, it is surprising that this one with a quadripartite incuse reverse seems to be unpublished. It appears stylistically distinct from the 1/24 staters cited from Klein and SNG Kayhan.
