Phokaia (BC 600-522) B08 - EL 1/24 Stater

ca 600-550 BC. EL 1/24 Stater (0.65g). Head of ram left; seal swimming left below / Incuse square. Exceptionally well-centered for such a small coin. EF.

Strangely enough, the minor fractions of this issue are not recorded by Bodenstedt, including Boston 1897 and SNG von Aulock 1798.
