This coin is from the same obverse die as the following lot (as well as the Rosen Sale 151 coin), and all three appear to form a transitional issue bridging the earlier archaic coinage with the early classical silver issues of Kyzikos. Their reverses show that the mint was experimenting with new reverse types. While the present coin has the usual, perpendicularly divided, quadripartite incuse, the following coin has a diagonally divided square. Finally, on the third piece (Rosen Sale 151), the incuse is divided such that a large K is formed by the lines, supplemented by two pellets and two small lines in one segment.

Though numerous silver fractions have been attributed to Kos or to an uncertain area in Thrace-Macedon, this particular issue would seemingly be more associated with Kyzikos on account of the tunny. Very rare and interesting.

Kyzikos (BC 550-510) Hemiobol258 viewsca 550 BC. AR Hemiobol (0.46g, 7mm). Head of lion right, holding tunny in mouth / Irregular incuse punch.
Most probably Kyzikos - the image reminds of the early obols of Kyzikos which depict a tunny with fish in its mouth. The lion is not unknown on later coins from Kyzikos and is mostly combined with a tunny - but no other piece shows a lion holding a fish in its mouth. The drawing of the lion differs very much from these later illustrations. It may be suggested that this coin can be dated at the beginning of the coinage of Kyzikos.

This silver issue parallels the earliest series of Electrum from Kyzikos, which also featured full or partial tunnies as the obverse type. These silver pieces strongly suggest that the dating of this coinage is closer to middle of the 6th century.
