Two back to back lions' heads, facing downward with open jaws and lolling tongues, a volute decoration between / Single divided punch with volute design. Unpublished in the standard references. VF. Ionia Uncertain (BC 550-500) Horse - EL 1/24593 viewsca 600-550 BC. EL Hemihekte – Twenty-Fourth Stater (6mm, 0.60g). Lydo-Milesian standard. Figural type. Head of pegasos left / Incuse square. Near EF. On most examples of this issue, the wing of Pegasos is off the flan, and therefore the type is usually referred to as a horse’s head. Ionia Uncertain (BC 600-550) Lion 4 - EL 1/24586 viewsca 600-550 BC. EL 1/24 Stater (7mm, 0.59g). Milesian standard. Figural type. Head of roaring lion left / Incuse square. Good VF. Apparently unpublished denomination. The cataloger of the Elektron collection associated its coins of this type to Rosen 304, but the style of the lion and the incuse punch are not consistent with these.

Bridled head of Pegasos left / Rough incuse square. EF. Carr coll. On almost all other examples that have come to auction, or appear in standard references, the wing of the Pegasos is not on the flan, giving the appearance of simply the head of a horse.1 comments Ionia Uncertain (BC 600-550) Lion 2 - EL 1/24491 viewsca 600-550 BC. EL 1/24 Stater (5mm, 0.57g). Milesian standard. Figural type. Facing lion’s head / Incuse square. Good VF. Rare denomination. Ionia Uncertain (BC 500) Obol481 viewsca 500 BC. AR Obol (7mm, 0.96g). Helmet left / Quadripartite incuse square, with irregular features and heavily stippled. VF. Ex Rosen Coll. Ionia Uncertain (BC 500-400) Hemiobol462 views5th century BC. AR Hemiobol (6mm, 0.31g).

Ionia Uncertain (BC 600-550) Lion 4 - EL 1/12438 viewsca 600-550 BC. EL Hemihekte – Twelfth Stater (8mm, 1.19g). Lydo-Milesian standard. Figural type. Head of lion right / Incuse square. VF. Very rare. The style of the obverse of this type has a resemblance to similar hemihektes of Miletos (cf. SNG Kayhan 444–8), but the attribution of those pieces is based on their incuses, all of which have geometric shapes or pellets similar to the staters that are conclusively proven to have been from Miletos (cf. SNG Kayhan 440–1). Further study, however, may eventually prove the attribution of these plain-incuse issues to Miletos as well. Ionia Uncertain (BC 550-500) Cock - EL 1/24438 viewsca 600-550 BC. EL 1/24 Stater (0.65g, 8mm). Bird (cock?) standing right / Quadripartite incuse square. VF. Extremely rare. Ionia Uncertain (BC 600-550) Lion Paw - EL 1/24435 viewsca 600­-550 BC.

Leg and shoulder (of stag?) / Incuse punch of mill-sail pattern. VF. Extremely rare. The exact nature of this design is not known, but it has the strong appearance of an animal's shoulder and leg, the hair on the lower part of the leg being highly evident on this example. Ionia Uncertain (BC 625-600) Geometric - EL 1/2344 viewsca 625-600 BC. EL Hemistater (14mm, 6.99g). Geometric pattern, with cross set over lozenge and annulet / Incuse square punch. VF.

VF, granular surfaces. This curious pale silver issue is struck on the thick, globular flan often associated with late figural electrum.

Unpublished in the standard references. Good VF. Extremely rare. The device on the obverse bears a strong resemblance to the obols attributed to Phlious in Phliasia (cf. BCD Peloponnesos 78–80), as does the reverse punch – a case of imitating types? Ionia Uncertain (BC 625-600) Geometric - EL 1/8305 viewsca 625-600 BC. EL 1/8 Stater (8mm, 1.80g).
