Phokaia (BC 477-388) B94 - EL 1/6 Stater

ca 400-380 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.55g). Female head facing left, wearing hair-net and earring; behind, seal swimming downwards / Four-part incuse square. Extremely beautiful femle head. EF.

The female head appears to imitate the Syracusan decadrachms of the engraver Kimon, but without slavishly copying his work.
