Phocaic 1/24 stater circa 550, EL 1.32 g. Forepart of lion r. Rev. Quadripartite incuse square. CNG sale 66, 488 (these dies).
Of the highest rarity, apparently only the third specimen known. About extremely fine
This coin was attributed in the CNG Mail Bid Sale to un uncertain mint in Caria. In our opinion, it is clearly part of the same issue with the lion seated (SNG von Aulock 1776), which has been attributed to an uncertain mint in Ionia.
